I know, I'm giving examples of how such a library could circumvent this restriction. Another example is to start a child process and a grandchild process, and then have the child process exit.
The examples in your first mail aren't a problem. Yes, the example in this mail of an intermediate process terminating and being re-parented to the init process will workaround any check that uses the process tree but I don't think we should be overly distracted by wild-ass code doing that. The purpose is simply to make it inconvenient for general purpose libraries to get at these APIs for the purposes of doing brain surgery in the current VM.
