...are we talking about different things? I don't understand why that matters.
The question was: in a world where kexts don't exist, could Hackintosh still work?
I'm saying, yes, as long as it's still possible to compile custom versions of the kernel, because you could just make whatever adjustments you wanted to the kernel directly.
As of today, it is absolutely possible to compile your own version of Darwin and use it to boot up a Hackintosh, or a real Mac. Perhaps in this theoretical world where kexts don't exist, this would cease to be true, but that would be a separate change, no?
