Then what’s the post complaining about? Just use the API!

You obviously know that's not possible. They are private APIs kept for Apple's ecosystem lock-in.

Private API is an oxymoron. If it’s a private implementation, then there’s a lot of work that would need to be done to make it API!

There is no part of the definition of API that requires it to be public. It's Application Programming Interface. You can have internal APIs.
