LVM is also used to make separate LV's such that critical filesystems can have their own space and be protected against another filesystem filling up (if you only had a single filesystem).
There are reasons to use it, especially if you don't want filling up a /data only filesystem to impact the OS.

I've always queried the point of using LVM by default. I'd suggest
that *MOST* users only have one hard drive, especially if it's a
laptop. So multi-drive-spanning systems aren't needed.
If you do want multi-drive-spanning storage, then you probably have the
knowledge to set up a system using an alternative filing system. If
you don't, you really should, because you're in for a world of fun and
games if it goes belly up.
Yes, I'm aware LVM isn't *all* about multidisk, but it's one of its
prime features.
