My point is that libc as the only system API is not a sane choice, and appeals to tradition don't make it less insane.

That might be your new point after having yeeted the goalposts out, but it's definitely not your original statement.

This is not an appeal to tradition, it's how things work. If the authors and maintainers of the system tell you something is the supported API, wilfully bypassing that supported API is not "the sane thing", especially when you complain that your bypass blows your face off down the line, then you're an asshole too.
