Comment (by rachelbaker):

 > why this function was implemented without a filter was probably a very
 early decision.

 @TimothyBlynJacobs is correct.

 We intentionally avoided making it "easy" for plugins to have full control
 over the core endpoints. This design decision was made to favor
 standardization across all WP sites for the built-in endpoints. Plugins
 can easily extend existing endpoints or add new endpoints.
