I'm not sure I agree with "impossible to change".

It's 2026, to this date I cannot use standard library/api, to open a file with utf-8 filename without a null terminating string.

When you want to talk to the OS you constantly face the need to had unnecessary overhead (allocation due to string convertion, strlen).

The OS itself does not prevent anything from having those standard "no overhead" API.

However, it's pretty clear that nobody cares to define some new sane interface and nobody care to deprecate old ones.

That would include both API and ABI.
