I see what you're saying, and I recognize that a coding agent will spit out something usable, but it still feels wrong. When a service provider puts out an SDK, they are responsible for it and are incentivized to update it when their API updates. If I ask an LLM to generate an SDK for me, then I am responsible for the SDK code despite the fact that I am not responsible for the API itself. This is not good Conway's Law alignment; it's the kind of thing you do when you have no other choice but to accept the debt that comes with it.
Pointing Claude Opus at an SDK and its docs likewise yields impeccable results in my experience.
