Network cards have low number of rx/tx buffers interrupt. This is also heuristic. Do you think driver should poll for this event instead and NIC designers just wasted their time designing the feature?
I don't see how the two cases are at all similar.More importantly, I don't see what the burden is of polling when you're talking about a very unusual statistic that has a very limited use case.
