Isn’t the Kernel’s purpose to provide things to be used by the rest of the system?

I guess the distinction between “Kernel” and “System” isn’t quite clear to me.

But yes, it looks odd compared to the other classes in “Kernel-Processes”. Probably it was put there originally because it provide the interrupt watcher process.

Being I/O related it would fit better in “System-Support” with Beeper and Clipboard. (although System-Support looks like a catch-all category … glad you’re thinking about better organization)
