How much do you actually know about this? Have you read the ELF spec or written anything with libelf, hacked on a loader, a linker? Considered the actual problems with having this hard coded vs alternatives?
I ask because ELF and unix dynamic linking is a pretty well thought out set of specifications and processes and it's a huge body of work. It can certainly be criticized, but calling it an afterthought because of .interp doesn't seem very charitable, just trying to understand if that's an informed opinion and if so it would be interesting to hear more.
