I agree that it would be helpful if chcpu used the usual success/failure convention for exit status. The reason is that sometimes one wants to use "set -e" in a script so that any command that fails unexpectedly will cause processing to halt. Similarly, if one hands a command to a program to execute, a program that is set up to execute generic commands supplied by some outside source usually handles non-zero exit status specially by reporting that the command failed, while treating zero exit statuses as not-to-be-remarked-upon.
