Yes, that's why I said 80 to 90 percent of cases, I'm aware there are

I would have thought they are rather a minority.
It probably depends on the distribution. I know at least CentOS tends to
use LVM in the default installation (at least it always has when I
installed it in test VMs).
Yes, that's one of the annoying things in a lot of distributions: the
promotion of the special case to the normal case. Adding an extra
abstraction layer for all those people with exactly one hard disk in their
computer for the sake of pretending to be modern is really a bad idea.
