Agreed.

The problem is that "no encoding" means different things to
different people. At some point I proposed to just throw out all those
functions, and force people to use encode/decode-coding-string instead,
which forces them to think a bit about what they're doing.
Oh, and throw away the `no-conversion' coding-system, of course, since
it has the same problem.
