As @KazuCocoa mentioned in https://github.com/appium/python-client/pull/856#issuecomment-1529498871 the change could slow down user scripts, especially if the server runs in cloud env, and we send two requests instead of one (e.g. the server is running an older driver version which does not support the given mobile endpoint yet).
In such case we want to remember if the given API is actually supported by the given driver instance, so next time we don't need to call the server twice, and thus save some time on each request.
