man 7 tcp says TCP_LINGER2 sets the lifetime of orphaned FIN_WAIT2 state

The whole point of TIME-WAIT is catching old packets still in network.
Killing it early would avoid its purpose.
tcp_max_tw_buckets does exactly that system wide, and for good reason.
Why not give userspace oversight over the process?
