For decoding points it's not necessary to have all the data useful for decoding public keys. This will also make it possible to decode explicit EC parameters, as decoding of a public key requires knowledge of the curve's base point and the base point is in defined in the parameters, creating a chicken and an egg problem with using the VerifyingKey.from_string() to parse the base point.
as some standards, like PKIX in X.509 certificates, don't allow for explicit curve paramters, provide an API that limits the supported formats
