Having the data exposed to userspace via an API would avoid having to have a kernel module at all... Which when malformed wouldn't compromise the kernel.

I mean, sure. But typically operating systems don't expose that type of information to user space, instead providing a kernel interface with user mode configuration.

It's why they use the same basic approach on mac and Linux.
