Like when there’s a kernel panic or your graphics drivers are not working, you should still be able to talk to kernel and find a solution.

A kernel panic probably halts the machine for a good reason. A user space log analyzer can search for a solution after the reboot, ChatGPT or other traditional technologies.
A not working graphic driver would result in a black screen. Again, a user space log analysis after a reboot or maybe a ALT Fn?
Anyway, why baking that functionality inside the kernel and how would it interact with the user? Over the console? A user space log analyzer could detect issues before the previous shutdown or reboot and offer to find a solution.

Even if GPT was in the kernel, you wouldn’t be able to talk to it after a kernel panic.
