Str_to_date() returns binary instead of DATETIME

[dtroyan]

For some reason str_to_date() function returns a BINARY column instead of DATETIME. See screenshot below

If I explicitly convert the function’s result to DATETIME - it correctly returns DATETIME. See screenshot below

Could anyone please explain this behaviour, maybe I’m missing something?
