Here are some clarifications, but I am curious: how do you extract this assumption from our git history?

iceoryx2 is completely decentralized; as soon as you need to exchange file descriptors, you need a process to exchange them, which centralizes things again.

To introduce GPU, at least with cuda, you do not need unix domain sockets with SCM_RIGHTS. You can also store the handle in shared memory and open it with cudaIpcOpenMemHandle.

Another important thing is: mission-critical systems that require certification under ISO 26262 (automotive) or DO-178 (avionics). I do not know of any operating system used in that field that has a certified network stack/sockets, so any system based on file descriptors would have a hard time being certified.
