That is only true for distros that do heavy patching of stock kernels,
which is bad IMHO. For example Debain only patches the kernel to fix bad
bugs discovered after kernel release and to exclude non-free data from
kernel.
Thus the stock kernel works perfectly fine on a Debian system AND if you
run unstable you can get Debian versions of kernels in few days after
kernel release.
