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.
