Umm. Why are you bringing up these total red herrings?
Those embedded systems can just build everything into one image, and are much better off using no modules at all.
But how about instead of complaining, help add the infrastructure then, so that you can insert those firmware things into modules and still use just one single interface?
Move _forward_, not backwards.
