But well, Arduino dates back to the year 2005 (at least, that's what
the SVN log tells me, as well as the copyright).  inb/outb have been
removed about a year before:

revision 1.13
date: 2004/04/28 16:20:52;  author: troth;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -128
* include/avr/eeprom.h (eeprom_rb): Remove deprecated interface.
(eeprom_rw): Ditto.
(eeprom_wb): Ditto.
(_EEPUT): Use eeprom_write_byte() directly instead of eeprom_wb().
(_EEGET): Use eeprom_read_byte() directly instead of eeprom_rb().
* include/avr/pgmspace.h (PRG_RDB): Remove deprecated interface.
* include/avr/sfr_defs.h (cbi): Ditto.
(sbi): Ditto.
(inb): Ditto.
(outb): Ditto.
(inw): Ditto.
(outw): Ditto.
(outp): Ditto.
(inp): Ditto.
(BV): Ditto.

And mind you, they have already been deprecated a year before that:

revision 1.8
date: 2003/06/10 19:12:25;  author: arcanum;  state: Exp;  lines: +75 -54
* include/avr/sfr_defs.h: Deprecate inb,outb,inw,outw,cbi,sbi macros.
Remove usage of above macros.
* include/avr/ina90.h: Remove usage of inb / outb macros.
* include/avr/interrupt.h: ditto.
* include/avr/timer.h: ditto.
* NEWS: Note about deprecation of macros.

So in fact, they were already marked deprecated by the time avr-libc
1.0.0 was released, and they were removed before starting the 1.2
branch (which was the active "stable" branch by the time Arduino
started).

No, there's no excuse why Arduino even started flogging a dead horse.
