It's one more layer of abstraction to confuse newer users when things go wrong.

In the context of a conversation where LVM provides a means of addressing the OP's requirement (encrypting a system after-the-fact), and where I've outlined numerous concrete examples of LVM features that I think are useful on desktop systems (backups, SSD acceleration, and virtualization), do you see how "things might go wrong" isn't very convincing? It's kind of vague and, honestly, applies to every aspect of computing. Yes, things can go wrong. Software contains bugs. Simplicity is good. But LVM is less complex than the vast majority of system components, and using a similar configuration on desktops and servers is, from the vendor's perspective, less complexity than different layouts.
