Could we know the reason? FYI, Landlock is enabled by default at least
in Arch and Fedora (and then Gentoo according to selected configuration).

BPF-LSM is very specific and would require privileged services to manage
it. However, Landlock brings new security features (like seccomp) and
would then benefit potentially all Debian applications. It is designed
from the beginning to be safely usable by all users, including
unprivileged ones.
