There could be many adapters in one UPAMD grid.
I have one printer connected to two computers. Both computers want to be paired with printer. How to select which pairing (if any) should be done?
If user interface for pairing would be in laptop, then any malware could make pairs at will. And shutdown everything, also devices from IEEE p11073 series of norm (health monitors and similar).

One, selected adapter in grid, or all adapters present in grid?

No, dumb devices shouldn't be 'steered'.
