There are some things that are in the private apis that make dealing with certain problems a 100 times easier. Sometimes you just want the gui to force a rotation to a certain orientation at some point of the app. Other public api's such as rotate top bar are more crufty, and don't work 100% of the time, or require fragile workaround where you do all the rotation manually yourself because the public apis are fragile, while the one-line simple private api would of done the trick.
