I don't see how I was supposed to understand that this as an answer to
my question: my question was not cited, and the text you posted had no
immediate relation to the issue at hand, it just says that
dired-get-marked-files could be called non-interactively, and intended
to do nothing when no files were marked, which is already possible. I
don't want to guess what that has to do with the issue you raised, and
why. Please spell that out.

Such uses can always call dired-get-marked-files with the last
argument nil or omitted. Where's the problem?
