Because you need to say what it is you want. If there isn't enough CPU
to meet all requirements, someone needs to decide on a trade-off and
not all users will want the same things: should the RT apps remain
RT even if this makes all the non-RT ones completely unuseable? Surely
the user should make that decision rather than the kernel? Or, as other
people have more concisely put it, the kernel provides mechanism, not
policy.
