For historical reasons, the ABI was described using C structures (and in
hindsight, a very poor idea, seeing as it all went to pot when "unsigned
long" changed size for 64bit), and the expectation was that every
downstream project wanting to make hypercalls would copy the "canonical
copy" of the ABI, which turns it into a defacto API as well.
However, there is absolutely nothing stopping a downstream project
deciding not to take this route, and having Xen's ABI expressed in their
local style. Ultimately, that is down to the maintainers of the project
to decide which approach they would prefer.
