Of course it could, who do you propose to do that work and support all
the various options and code required? It's easy to say it "works for
me" in your one machine use case, but supporting it acros 1000s of
config options with users that are less capable and don't know what a
boot loader is it hard, it takes a lot of work so people don't end up
with unbootable machines.
