I’d say it has more to do with the notion that a contract that represents a unilateral mistake of which the no mistaken party knew or should have known of, then the contract is voidable by the mistaken party.

After all, it’s unlikely that you’re going to get no consideration in a contractual transaction… but if you get absolutely nothing, sure, the contract could be void for lack of consideration.
