The ufuncs that are modified are maximum/minimum, which are binary functions. The max/min equivalent methods are implemented in `numpy/core/_methods.py` using `maximum.reduce`/`minimum.reduce` and are accessed through `amin`/`amax` in `numpy/core/fromnumeric.py`. The python max/min are different, they treat the array as an iterator.

It is a small point, agreed.
