Why provide a C API when you could just provide dbus endpoints to achieve the same scriptability via IPC?

kdbus has pretty low latency, AIUI.

I don't know what kdbus is but you're never going to have less latency than copying a value into your instruction register.

And the fact you think a software bus is good enough is the reason so many things are so slow these days. It just depends on what your standard for latency is.
