As an extension author, I can say that in one of my extensions I have used the API to great satisfaction of everyone :)
Using the API internally is useful in some cases, yes. If you're gonna run a complex query the API happens to support, you're usually better off using the API, to prevent code duplication. But while there are bound to be places in the code where the API is used internally (which doesn't have the HTTP overhead I mentioned earlier, my mistake) in the core, in extensions and even in the API itself, there's no reason for the core to systematically use the API for everything.
