... Function names compose much of the API.
The API is the structure of the codebase.
This isn't some triviality you can throw aside as unimportant, it is the shape that the code has today, and limits and controls what it will have tomorrow.
It's how you make things intuitive, and it is equally how you ensure people follow a correct flow and don't trap themselves into a security bug.
