Ah. This is very confusing. I can see the benefit of a diagnostic utility
to tell me "show me *all* network adapters in the system!", but maybe it
should not be the default output of something called "*tap* ctl" :-)

Yes, this sounds like "less room for confusion, accidents and user
frustration".
"tapctl list" could grow a "--all" parameter to "really display all"
(including some sort of flaggin "this is is a tap adapter", maybe even
displaying the "tap901.sys" vs "root\\tap901.sys" difference), but
"delete" really should not touch not-ours interfaces.
