Such as during the grub -> grub2 transition, when a larger spare chunk of space was needed, after the MBR, to accomodate the larger bootloader.
Yes, but only for systems that had /boot on md RAID1. In the context of a discussion about "95% of users systems" that seems like an odd argument.
But if I had to deal with useless LVM interloper, I would've been, pretty much, up the creek.
Probably not. The default setup still puts /boot at the beginning of the drive, and not inside LVM. On a more-or-less default configuration with RAID1, you'd have taken the same steps that you did.
LVM isn't as complicated as you make it out to be, and as Roberto pointed out earlier, it allows users to do things with their storage that they might not have realized they wanted initially, like encrypting the system while it's running.
If we accept that 95% of users won't benefit from LVM (they won't use any LVM features), that's true because many systems have simple, relatively static storage. Systems with simple, relatively static storage will, by the same token, not require users to interact with LVM. So where is the case for not using it, exactly?
