That's because it's a HOWTO not a WHYTO. If you want or need to use
an initramfs that document explains how to use it and how it differs from
the old initrd. It is not trying to tell you whether you need it or not,
that is your decision. Which I guess shows a difference in attitude
between the kernel devs and udev devs.
