1. Simplicity.
2. Ability to boot any arbitrary filesystem without the need for the
bootloader to understand filesystem semantics.[1]
[1] This isn't a problem with current common Linux filesystems, but
has been in the past, and in some cases such as ReiserFS has limited
GRUB to booting from some filesystems if mounted with the "notail"
option. Admittedly, GRUB also does support a "block list" reference
mode analogous to LILO's ability to find bootable objects by logical CHS
location, but this is poorly documented and probably poorly tested.
