I think that would be a non-ideal design - it's often useful to wait on multiple different types of object (e.g. an event loop that listens to IPC channels, and network sockets, and an eventfd or pipe to get woken up by other threads), but that's only possible if everything is an fd, not if each type of object has its own poll-like API.
