This all boils down to design philosophy - top down vs bottom up, which
are a matter of taste to some degree.
Also, low-level support is not _useless_ just because it isn't used by
some higher-level subsystem from the start. If the interface is good and
functionality is interesting (and it definitely is), someone is going to
use it.
