Because devs latched into their interpretation of eBPF’s promises and found ways to make them happen via the way any problem in computer science gets solved: indirection. This is human nature (just look at the stack of BIOS/EFI/OS execution rings that pre-empt each other to provide more features at lower hardware levels). Responsible operators should avoid these hacks where possible.
