Cannot create pie chart in which all values are identical

I am unable to create a pie chart in which all responses are identical, or, in other words, in which 100% of the responses are represented by a single value. When I try to create such a chart, for example with this dataset or this one:

I get the error message:

Requires at least 2 column(s) but only 1 provided.

If I add a different value to the bottom, however, I am able to create a pie chart as normal.

Is there a workaround for this? Or is this a known bug and/or lack of foresight in the design of the application?
