Mind pointing out what is messy about special pages? If you've got an

Cause actions were in fact the older interface. Till one or two people
attempted to bring them up to date with the SpecialPage system that
superseded actions entirely.
The special page system clearly did not supersede actions entirely, or
e.g. action=history would have become a special page.

Fine, it's legacy, un-explicitly deprecated.
Just like legacy skins based directly on Skin instead of SkinTempate was
for years.
And in the future &action=history very likely WILL become a SpecialPage,
or something like it.
We just don't use actions for anything new we create, period.
