i think this may need to make a copy in some cases?

Are you sure?
ser = Series(["a"], dtype="object")
result = ser.infer_objects()
result.iloc[0] = "c"
print(ser)
this updates ser as well, same as the bytes version. If we add a copy, the bytes version would not update anymore

- infer_objects in principle makes a copy in cases where it doesn't do inference. 2) I don't think that's what most users (or our internal usages) actually want. 3) ATM the ObjectBlock case that doesn't do inference doesn't make a copy, which is inconsistent with other dtypes. 4) i think adding a copy keyword makes sense xref ENH/PERF: copy=True keyword in methods where copy=False can improve perf #48141, but adding copy keywords in general got pushback recently

I guess we can ignore this since were not consistent about it anyway
