[API] Why is `massproperties` returning three separate sets of data?

When using the `massproperties` endpoint, we get three sets of data. Three 3D centroids, three masses, three tensor matrices for moment of inertia...
Finding docu on the API calls has been elusive, but when I look at the data, it's consistent with some kind of low/medium/high estimate. Although it seems to be presented as medium/low/high. Even then, there's some data formatting issues, such as 'centroid' and 'inertia' being flat arrays, instead of 3 arrays of 3D arrays whereas 'principal_axes' is split into three arrays of 3D tuples.

- Anyone know what's going on?
- Is this a stable API output or should we expect things to evolve in the future?
