The android codebase is so huge there is nobody who really has a good view at all of it to make architectural decisions. Also internal politics sometimes impacts technical decisions ("No, you can't add an API to our teams codebase - we're underresourced and don't have time to review your changes till Q4 2025"). End result: API's are added in silly places.
