Eaxtcly, as I said, boot splash gives total freedom. You can have a
background pic with the kernel messages scrolling over it, and you can
control the size and loaction of the text window on the screen, change
fonts, colors.... Or you can have just the messages, or just the pic,
with or without progress bar.
You can have everything people can possibly want.  WIthout splash, you
have only what some people want.

Pleasing everyone versus pleasing only some people -> choice is easy to
make ! :o)
