This has historically been fairly common among a lot of the early Elixir libraries, and I'd imagine that's a byproduct of many of the early adopters coming from the Ruby ecosystem, and not having prior experience with the patterns used in Erlang. I think some of the early confusion surrounding how application config should be used also led to some misguided decisions early on.
Fortunately it's something that I've seen improve over time, but it's a pain-point I've run into with a lot of dependencies, so I try to call it out when I see it.
