Forgive me for raising such a taboo topic, but I've encountered
situations where I had to choose between A) using a private API, B)
shipping a product with a malfunction that would aggravate users to a
greater degree than the risk of using the private API, or C) not
shipping a product.

Certainly – placing yourself in the shoes of a third-party developer –
you would agree that situations exist where using a private API is
warranted? I'd be happy to provide specific examples as necessary.
