Yes, because is there only one device and there will only ever be one
device (unless you know of somebody doing Dreamcast hardware
development).

I understand the point you are making but adding in additional code
would only diminish resource availability or slow performance on a
small machine without actually delivering any better outcomes for
kernel users..

Is it reaslly necessary?
