I'm not here to say that you're wrong, but this kind of argument is
exactly why we didn't use to mark a bunch of things PGDLLIMPORT that,
as it turned out, extension developers actually wanted to use.

I don't think we should go back to the bad old days where we litigated
every case of marking something PGDLLIMPORT or not unless we have an
extremely good reason for so doing.
