Why did you use the word Blessed?
I'm curious what made your brain choose that word instead of something neutral.
Reminds me of "Walled garden" marketing speak instead of "Walled Prison".
Edit- is there some sensitive nerve I hit?

people use metaphors with a lot of conotation (walled prison) so if there is a more neutral term, i was curious how to state it in either non-positive or non-negative way
It's a fairly common idiom when talking about platform APIs. Some APIs are "blessed" in that they are the APIs that they platform owners would like you to use and others they would like you to avoid. "Blessed" isn't wholly positive as it implies the platform plays favorites, and frequently the new blessed apis don't support all the old functionality.
Here is patio11 using the idiom 7 years ago:

It's not as nefarious as you are implying - I don't have an agenda, I've just been on HN for too long.
Probably the nerve that's tired of people going out of their way to be offended over terms that never were offensive when used in context such as this subject matter.
Context does matter.
