get_usermeta() deprecated in favor of get_user_meta(). But why doesn’t it make use of it?

Indeed, get_usermeta() behaves differently from get_user_meta() and all the other get_*_meta() functions. That’s why it was deprecated.

Unfortunately, the subtle differences couldn’t be explained properly in a deprecation notice.
