That's not a bug, it's a feature ;-)

As Terry Reedy wrote, partly history and partly practicality. There's
no philosophical reason why we write "len(x)" (generic builtin),
"x.append(1)" (method) or "del x[i]" (statement). The latter in
particular is IMHO a design wart; there's no reason for not writing it
as "x.delete(i)".
