That would subtly change the semantics of the expression:

test=> SELECT NULL IS NOT DISTINCT FROM 21580;
 ?column? 
----------
 f
(1 row)

test=> SELECT NULL = 21580;
 ?column? 
----------
 
(1 row)

One expression is FALSE, the other NULL.

It doesn't matter in the context of your specific query, but it could matter.
