e.g. handling a double click of a file on MacOS is impossible without using
private APIs currently. I think a bug is filed already, but I don't know
the number.

Learning if you're on the software pipeline or GL/D3D pipelines also
requires internal APIs. This is useful for winding back animations on
hardware/pipelines that can't take it.

Finding the current pixel scale of the screen, same.

I don't know if it counts but I find myself relying on or overriding
undocumented rules in modena.css somewhat frequently. For example the
edge-to-edge rule for ScrollPane. Of course, jigsaw will not break that.

I think AquaFX has to use internal APIs in various places though I don't
remember why.

Those are the examples from my (quite small) app.
