I’m confused. That fact that you had to recompile for each new kernel reinforces the quote you are seeking to challenge.

What definition of "infeasible" are you using?
I’m using the definition that something can’t be done. The comment you responded to was regarding releasing a compiled ko and having it supported by newer kernels. Your response was we solved this by recompiling it.
A specific .ko file can't work against arbitrary kernels, no. The customer problem of I have a kernel and this hardware and need a .ko file for it is solvable.
That’s great but not what the comment you responded to was regarding.
