I think it's all about kernel space.
Moving the default parsing to user space would add exactly _zero_
advantage, and would add totally unnecessary complexity (ie now we need to
make sure that hotplug does it right - and the hotplug routines suddenly
change between the boot phase and the actual install).
There is no reason the hotplug routines should change between the boot
phase and actual install. Please note that I didn't say "instead of
/sbin/hotplug", I said in rootfs in addition to /sbin/hotplug.
If it adds complexity, it's The Wrong Thing. However, it seems very
strange to me to draw the boundary at the kernel-space boundary.
