I could see arguments for going the other way too. For example, writing
[[Special:History/Page|history]] would be _so_ much more convenient than
<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Page|action=history}}
history]</span> (and very few people outside this list probably even
know that one can do the latter).
But I do generally agree that the lack of a clear and logical
distinction between actions and special pages is ugly and sometimes
confusing (...not to even mention Special:Search...).
