Why are Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions cluster wide

Hello StackOverflow users,

I've started working in the Kubernetes space recently and saw that Custom Resource Definitions(CRDs) types are not namespaced and are available to to all namespaces.

I was wondering why it isn't possible to make a CRD type scoped to a namespace. Any help would be appreciated!

See https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/65551#issuecomment-400909534 for a discussion of this issue.

A particular CRD can define a custom resource that is namespaced or cluster-wide, but the type definition (the CRD itself) is cluster-wide and applies uniformly to all namespaces.
