LuneOS tries to keep webOS alive

To be fair, that the Linux kernel runs at all across such a wide variety of ARM devices is already an incredible win. The need for a specific kernel compile is a technicality that mostly affects distribution like ours (Ubuntu) -- the end user is almost oblivious of the fact they need one or another. But wherever that kernel runs, you can be assured that an application built for that arch on Linux works, and that's a huge deal.
