Using kernel modules to do researchy things -- that nobody would care if they crashed and burned -- in the 90s just to prove that they were possible, has little in common with doing what you describe, today, in a way that is reliable and has to account for conditions that were not present 30 years ago.

Your comparison is therefore invalid.

You'd know all of that of course if you actually had written a single kernel implant in your life.
