Kind of an understatement. The existence of an official interface obsoletes 3rd party projects like the one posted.

It's technically not part Linux's headers either. It's published under the tools subdirectory, so it's something that ships along with the kernel, but not used by the kernel itself. Basically it's there as some people might find it useful, but could've as well been a separate repo.
What you don't understand, because you don't work on Chrome, or Chrome sized projects, is that generic, lowest common denominator implementations cannot be optimal for all use-cases and at scale (Chrome-sized project) those inefficiencies matter. That's why this exists, that's why folly exists, that's why abseil exists, that's why no not everyone can just use boost, etc etc etc
