It is an oversight, or rather it is on our ToDo list.

But we have not decided if it is those we will document, or if
it is better to create wrappers a'la inet:parse_address/1 to
not expose the module inet_parse as an API module...

There are too many using these so it is probably not possible
to remove them without a deprecation cycle, even though they
never have been supported. And they will not be deprecated
until there are alternatives e.g in inet.
