my educated guess is that your distro is providing some emergency

it's purely the decision of your distro what to put in there and what
not.
So are there any distros that have /etc/fstab in initrd?
Having to start mount units manually is just terrible when a simple "mount
/var" would do.
Last I remember (I don't normally end up there), I thought one of the
first things gentoo did was mount root ro.
So long as I don't have any funny file systems anywhere, or the crash
occurs before that, everything I need is there ...
