I think you have been blessed to work with only small, clean APIs. 
Certain domains definitely promote large argument lists. Though the 
designs could certainly be refactored to e.g. group parameters into 
separate objects, it's overkill to do that. I'm afraid sheer experience 
is showing that your counterarguments are not based.
