 The only possible idea of the_posts and posts_results filters is to allow
 post data modifications just after posts are fetched from database. But it
 is useless if there are other ways to load posts without filtering. Since
 WP_Post::get_instance does not pass its data through these filters (or any
 other) it makes them useless. This may be seen for example on bbPress
 topic page, where last reply is fetched separately (for any reason, I did
 not make an investigation why its done this way).
