Why them and not you, the developers of the series?

This is not relevant to the binding, please remove it.

Why is it allowed but not recommended? Seems to me like we should
require device-specific compatibles.

Why can none of these things be determined from the device's compatible?
On the surface, they like the kinds of things that could/should be.
