It could be confusing.  'window--display-buffer' receives two
distinguished arguments - a live WINDOW that it _has_ to use for
displaying BUFFER in and a TYPE needed for correctly processing
'display-buffer-mark-dedicated' and the 'quite-restore' parameter.  If
callers fail to set these reliably, further processing might be
broken.  And keep in mind that unlike ordinary action functions
'window--display-buffer' never fails.  Any failure would be with a
broken caller.
