Why is Special:Version restricted to administrators?

First off, apologies if this is the wrong (on-wiki) place for this discussion. If so, I'd appreciate a pointer towards the correct page(s). :-)

Now, the MediaWiki core special page Special:Version lists information about this wiki and its software, like MediaWiki version, installed software libraries, installed MediaWiki extensions and skins and more. By default it is viewable by everyone, but on the ConsoleMods Wiki it's restricted to administrators. Why? It seems awfully silly, given that 1) it sounds awfully lot like "security through obscurity and 2) the information can still be retrieved by anyone (yes, even anons (!)) via the API entry point, api.php. --Jack Phoenix (talk) 18:49, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
