It is an accident due to some thinking that you can access data using an API that does not have resource handling (close()) and does not throw exceptions. SimpleFeatureIterator is the sane way to access data, Iterator<SimpleFeature> is for people actively looking for trouble (it's still there just for backwards compatibility, but we should really, really deprecate it).
