Because currently they can call thing-at-point without defining foo-at-point. AFAIU, you suggest to deny them this possibility, and force them to define foo-at-point for every foo.
They'll really have to do that only for string-unrepresentable foos.Like currently (thing-at-point 'symbol) returns a string, whereas (symbol-at-point) returns an interned symbol. That's nothing new.
