Maybe it comes from the fact that I know my computer is doing all sorts of stuff all the time that I don't 'need' it to do. But I don't really feel compelled to go and build a kernel with all the drivers I don't use taken out, and hack up udev not to probe things I don't care about, and and and... if something's happening that isn't benefiting me right at this second I don't feel some kind of compulsion to RIP IT OUT RIP OUT THE EVIL NOW. So someone finds their system is using LVM and they don't feel like taking advantage of any of LVM's specific benefits right now. Fine. What have they lost? Why would you be so terribly angry that you can't 'remove it'? I mean, ext4 probably has benefits I'm not using right now, but I'm not feeling compelled to switch my disks to something less capable... The performance point is likely worth bringing up in the bug, though.
