You are addressing this from a user-perspective for desktop usage. But, the Linux kernel runs on so many different processors (check under arch/), different platforms/boards, for different needs. The number of hardware it supports is enormous and each hardware is different. In fact there are so many ways of booting the Linux kernel (network, USB, hard disk, et. al.) with different types of filesystems. This versatility gives the end-user freedom to use what he/she wants. You cannot generalize it.
