As far as I can tell, the design of raw sockets was kind of ad-hoc, so I wouldn't necessarily call it "intentional". The idea is that you would use a raw socket to provide services that the kernel doesn't, so there's no need to send the messages that the kernel has already handled to a raw socket. The easiest solution is to use bpf instead of raw sockets, since its interface is cleaner.
