I mean: if the kernel wants to detect that, since it has access to all those three items, then it's also fine by me.

It's unlikely that GNOME, or any other high level user space UI, would be able to access those three things without building a huge quirks database anyway, so might as well defer to components that already have that database.

Great if there's some component on the system that can provide a best-guess as to whether it would work or not.

But, how about deferring to ME for the final decision, rather than some probably-out-of-date and not-quite-complete static database, regardless of where it lives?
