The fact that it takes a whole list rather than a single element is more in the "bikeshedcolor" category for me.
From where I'm standing, this color of the bike shed would make it harder to use (if I ever found a way to support it in Company, that is).
If affixation-function returns a list including extra data, I will then have to convert it to some structure that allows lookup by completion string (e.g. a hash table), and then pass that table on to the place the completions are rendered.
display-sort-function is different, because you can use it in one place, have your list re-sorted, and then go on with the rendering of the resulting collection. It doesn't force me to do any extra accounting.
