Then I guess if they call hard bindings a big pain, they won't be excited by the pain you offer them through your new soft binding syscalls.
It's totally ok for qemu, which will just run 2 syscalls per vnode.
But with your solution some apps will suffer from the same massive pain that they're currently suffering. This is why is still niche to me.
