I see two different requirements here with error free autodetection being much more critical for the bootable CD. If a hard disk install doesn't pick something up correctly, it can be interactively fixed and life goes on. With a failed CD boot, the user is out of business on that machine.
What you're saying is true for the average Linux enthusiast, but for a broader audience it's really the same for CD and hard drive. Either the hardware works or not, if not they can't do anything to fix it.
If the Knoppix setup is better, why wouldn't we use it in the stock hard drive install?
