3rd party hooking into kernel is 3rd party responsibility. It is like equipping your car with LPG - THAT hooks into engine (kernel). And When I had a faulty gas pressure sensor then my car actually halted (BSOD if you will) instead of automatically failing over to gasoline as it is by design.

You can argue that car had no means to continue execution but kernel has, however invalid kernel state can cause more corruption down the road. Or as parent even points out - carry out lethal doses of something.
