I'm not a GTK+ developer and cannot speak for them, but having consistent API is far more important to me than having some parts of the code being brief. Also, if you think about what this function does exactly, you'll notice that there is no way you can achieve this using your suggestion. The function's purpose is: "Fill my GtkAllocation struct with values from widget's allocation". This gives you a copy of values (as I speculated in my first reply and Emmanuele confirmed it not long ago).
