Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 I don't have any context here, why this function was implemented without a
 filter was probably a very early decision.

 Personally, I worry that such a low-level filter will get abused to add
 parameters to controllers without using the more intentional exposed APIs
 like `register_rest_field`.

 I'm of the opinion that if controllers want to make portions of their
 route registration customizable, they should provide specific filters for
 that.

 Gutenberg has pretty specialized needs as a place for prototyping features
 for Core, but I don't think we should be encouraging plugin developers to
 do the same.
