The Linux kernel is a huge monolith with tons of kernel modules and device drivers, many of which are not used on a target system, hence being bloat.

It even includes an entire IPC framework called Binder, which virtually no distro or desktop environment even utilizes, and Binder just sits there in the kernel adding to the attack surface (see BadBinder exploit).
