I personally suspect the requirement to preserve source compatibility with Python 2 has meant that the limited ABI hasn't been exercised very well to date. As far as the high level embedding API goes, I expect it's just an oversight that it's missing from the stable ABI. There are some that *can't* be exposed (the ones that rely on FILE pointers), but the others should be OK.
