Because the person who wrote it wasn't the person who had to use it.
Oh, I didn't mean as opposed to TO returning a more convenient structure, I
meant as opposed to the change I'm proposing, having TM call
`client.GetTrafficMonitorConfig()` directly and then later calling
`tc.LegacyTrafficMonitorTransformToMap()` itself so operators can just copy the
response from `GET /cdns/{{CDN}}/configs/monitoring` to `tmconfig.backup`
without TM having needed to have an initial connection to TO and generate the
backup file itself, as @ocket8888 said.
