I can think of a dozen reasons why such an API might exist. Chesterton's fence doesn't say "don't make changes" it says "If you can't think of why something might exist, you are not qualified to say that it shouldn't exist."

I never said I didn't understand why the API existed.

Then Chesterton's fence doesn't apply. People wrongly using arguments to enforce blind conservatism doesn't make the underlying arguments wrong...

Then we agree!!
