But lets just consider. Your above code could simply be rewritten
as follows.

 res = list()
 for i in range(10):

I don't understand your point here? You want list() to create a new list and [] to return the same (initially empty) list throughout the run of the program? 


No, but I think that each occurence returning the same (initially empty)
list throughout the run of the program would be consistent with how
default arguments are treated.


What about that :
def f(a):
    res = [a]
    return res

How can you return the same list that way ? Do you propose to make such construct illegal ?
