My biggest grief with kmod is the missing modprobe -l. Sure, you could do the same thing with find, but:
- "find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ -name *.ko" has 240% more characters to type - it requires me to remember the argument to uname.
I don't use modprobe -l programmatically, I just want to list all the installed loadable modules.

Speaking as someone who had to write a few hundred lines of code to do the equivalent of modprobe -l using fts() when the deprecation warning came down, it was more than slightly annoying. Yeah, you *can* do it by hand, but isn't the whole point of computers to take that sort of burden away from us?

Debian (at least) ships /sbin/modprobe as part of the kmod package. If your distribution does not have the (tiny) compatibility wrapper, you should probably open a bug.
