Let me second this, and add the rationale that most people don't want to
be running a kernel.GENERIC bloated with all kinds of drivers for devices
they probably don't have (and not all drivers that they do need).

Of course, this all changes when kernel modules are better integrated.
However, building a custom kernel will likely always be a typical operation
during post-installation machine configuration.
