Sounds like an initrd.

What do you need udev for, isn't it yet another process to run for
not much gain, at least for simple systems, and why do I have to
recreate /dev at every boot, I can just have static dev files.
Yes, udev is a pain, and hdmi and newer mdraid superblocks wants
dynamic minors, but except that. And automounting isn't preferred here.

What is the point of having dbus, isn't it just another attack vector ?
Isn't it just so laptops behaves like Microsoft OSs.
