ArcGIS Pro 3.2; Mobile Geodatabase:
I have a four-sided polygon in a feature class. When I use Calculate Geometry to get the number of vertices, the result is 5. Yet, the Edit Vertices pane shows only 4 vertices.

Likewise, the Attribute pane's Geometry tab shows 4 vertices.

Best guess is: Calculate Geometry considers the end/closing vertex to be a true vertex. That seems like a strange approach when counting vertices. I understand how that could apply in the back-end, but when counting vertices from the user's perspective, I wouldn't think to include the closing vertex.
Could that functionality be changed so that Calculate Geometry only returns 4 vertices, not 5? I think that would be more consistent and intuitive for users.
