They escaped from glibc because they're used by code shared with Gnulib (e.g., canonicalize.c).

 The
interfaces and their implementation are problematic in some ways, and I
can't recommend them for general use.

Thanks for letting us know.

What problems do you see with the interfaces, and are there efforts to come up with a better API? The need is there in GNU apps, each of which tends to roll its own code here.
