So our protocol stack is so cpu hungry compared to AF_UNIX that it's unusable on low power devices?
I can't take you seriously if you say this after showing us the thousands of lines of code you guys think we should add to the AF_UNIX socket layer.

Because it doesn't have the handful of extra features you absolutely require of it.
AF_UNIX is a complicated socket layer which is already extremely hard to maintain. We're still finding bugs in it even after all these years, and that's without adding major new functionality.
