That is sort of by definition.

And there are use cases where that requirement is
everything.

But for traditional server and desktop it seems like
either monolith or hybrid is the preference.

Key question must be whether that is just for historic
reasons or there is a technical reason - aka that a
pure microkernel design does not perform good enough.
