It's quite possible this was missed in the initial implementation. One of the initial goals was to increase visibility of the sister wikis by showcasing them on the (often) more popular wikipedias. Would have to look closer, but reasonable guess would be that the same config that gates showing the interwiki results on Special:Search also applies to API when it shouldn't.
