Comment (by dd32):

 I think that's the intention. An unauthenticated endpoint is designed for
 public consumption. If it's not, it should have authentication.

 The filter is named badly which leads to that confusion, `xmlrpc_enabled`
 is not `Is XML-RPC accessible?` It's `Are XML-RPC Editing functions
 enabled?`
