This is not a choice or a configuration, on machines that we can
guarantee initrd less boot we configure and do that. On machines where
we can't we set it up for booting with initrd. It is a transparent
boot optimisation. If your system boots one way or another, it is best
experience available for you.

But your individual setups and deployments do not represent the
overall spectra of Ubuntu usage, and relative % of boots that happen
one way or the other, even if all of your machines in your particular
deployment do one particular thing.
