Unipolarity has been my design goal from the get go given that:

1. It enables high granularity filtering i.e. as capable or more capable
   resource managers in kernel as pre-existing user space resource
   managers (once the implementation has matured enough ofc but it
   has the core design principles right I think).
2. Software defined TPM devices e.g., in-kernel TPM emulators and
   interoperability layers for other crypto devices and confidential
   computing technologies. I'm not sure if anyone wants anything
   like this, just plain highilighting the possibilities.
