For a real deployment, this is usually just humbug and can be replaced

That's nice, until you want to do something like an encrypted root, or encrypted swap with suspend/resume. That's pretty hard without an initramfs.

And before you say that's a special case, it's pretty standard for any laptop in a sensitive environment. In fact we have servers configured that way.
