One minor nit, other than that:

I don't entirely disagree. I have worked on projects that do testing
well where it actually makes development faster, and I have worked on
projects that do testing poorly where it never improves code quality
and is just an encumbrance, and I have never seen a project get to
100% coverage (nor would I want to).

Do you feel differently about incremental coverage vs. absolute
coverage? I have found incremental coverage to be a lot more valuable
in my experiences.

You seem pretty passionate about this. Would you like to be included
in our unit testing discussions in the future?

nit: It looks like the next line might crash if this expectation
fails. If this is the case, you might want to use a KUNIT_ASSERT_*
here.
