Maybe you meant `try-completion'? And even that uses `completion-styles',

allows for different kinds of completion).
completion-styles are too slow. We want to be able to delegate matching
to an external program.
Maybe try reading the thread next time, before jumping in?
So don't use `completion-at-point-functions', if they don't give you
what you want. I don't use them. That shouldn't mean that you need
to screw `all-completions' or `minibuffer-completion-table'.
completion-at-point-functions are fine. The completion tables, as
currently defined, are insufficiently powerful.
We also want to use the new kind of completion tables for e.g.
project-find-file, which does use the minibuffer.
`completion-at-point-functions', too limited or not, is fairly recent.
`all-completions' and `minibuffer-completion-table' are decades old.
They are solid, basic tools.
Emacs should improve over time.
