and even unistd's write() and seek() are wrappers for kernel's pwrite().

No. Just look at the code. write()+seek() as different semantics
than pwrite(), and they don't even need to be supported by some
particular fd.

AFAIK libc's pwrite() is the low-level (minimal) wrapper to the linux Write system-call. There isn't the concept of sequential read/write to a disk in the kernel and this paradigm is implemented by the means of libc's write().
