So … does nobody run statistics on what system calls are used? Not even as a measure to see where effort should be focused? Or just to see where "linux system still boots fine" counts as basic test coverage?

Why glibc's fstat() is slow

There are plenty of statistics run by different groups all focused on their use-case. The issue is that use-cases vary all over and you end up with people focusing efforts on sometime 'speed' and sometimes 'this gets used a lot a little differently.. maybe just make the call handle more cases'. Then you end up cleaning up some places for one thing, and other places for another.
