@rose ya I said exotic, not obscure. Most programs do not need netlink and it opens up a wide surface area for exploits

more programs than you expect need netlink actually, pretty much every program that interfaces with libudev needs netlink, restrict it and youll have users complaining about lacking sound, lacking networking, lacking power management, lacking drive management its not exotic either, its an important part of the kernel communicating with userspace
