Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython@gmail.com> added the comment:

In case of int() the name of it's first argument was documented, in both the module \
documentation, and in interactive help. But the documented name of the first \
blake2b() argument was "data", and it never worked. Since help() was not worked for \
blake2b, the user had weak chance to know that the actual name is "string". Thus \
there is much less chance of breaking the user code by making this parameter a \
positional-only than in case of int().

But I think Christian has other concerns.
