Moreover, what is there on initrd that you can't put in root?
Find out yourself:
$ mkdir /tmp/initrd $ cd /tmp/initrd $ gzip -dc - < /boot/initrd | cpio -i $ find . -ls [...]
It's a question of timing, e.g. how do you want to do an fsck of the root file system when you have it already mounted?
Isn't that why many distros put ro on cmdline, to mount / readonly until after it passes check?
That doesn't work for all filesystems. Some can't be fscked when they are mounted (even if read-only).
