Because it better frames the provider api and doesn't require
io_uring calls sticking off the net code, i.e. decouples subsystems
better, that's while these calls are not in the hot path (in case of
io_uring it's ammortised). But you're right that it can be turned into
a switch, I just don't think it's better, and that's how it was done
in the original patch.
