frankly this would mean that a lot of distros would be completely unuseable for many people.

it's not always possible to have a working (or at least reasonably performing) system with the 'stock' distro kernel

yes this makes support harder. charge for the time when you run into such problems, don't just cry 'Unsupported' and scurry away leaving the user in a lurch.
