Yes, I did realize there are workarounds and DataArray.squeeze() is the preferred one.

In my mind this is a kind of incompatibility problem and it would be nice to fix this. I had existing numpy code, and later decided to add dimension and coordinate labels using xarray. I was under the impression that xarray.DataArrays behave the same as numpy.ndarrays when applying numpy functions, so that I didn't have to change any of my code.

At least for np.squeeze this is not the case. Perhaps there are other functions for which a similar issue arises. If you don't think this kind of compatibility is desired then it would be good to address this in the documentation.
