[3.x]: searchScore below 1 are set to null

What happened?

Description

Suppose you have a simple entry search like the following:

{% set results = craft.entries()
  .search('foo')
  .orderBy('score')
  .all() %}

{% for r in results %}
  {{ r.searchScore }}
{% endfor %}

This will output all search scores of matching entries. However all numbers were cast to an integer.

If you inspect the search scores at this point (https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/v3/src/elements/db/ElementQuery.php#L2909), you'll get the actual floating numbers.

At some point however they are cast to an integer, and I think the culprit could be this line (https://github.com/craftcms/cms/blob/v3/src/base/Element.php#L1837):

$this->searchScore = (int)$this->searchScore ?: null;

Expected behavior

searchScore's below 1 should be set to a 0 or the actual floating value.

Actual behavior

searchScore's below 1 are set to null instead of a number.
