This seems counter-intuitive.
Hardware limitations mean different abstraction than OS-level APIs, as them to applications.
Even POSIX does not expose hardware limitations.
Rather, high-level in the paper is more like some suitable interface to a wide range of applications. I.e., high-level as it's targeted to be used directly by applications as a portable interface.
