Actually, that'd be related to one of my issues with LVM, it

That's a fair criticism. Bad things do happen if you move a disk with
generic volume group names or logical volume names to another system.
I would think that's an unusual operation. The simplest answer would
be: access your volumes from live media rather than moving your storage
to another similar system. Also, as Chris mentioned, Anaconda will
attempt to generate unique (or at least, not generic) volume names to
avoid that issue on new installs, though it did not always behave that way.
But as this discussion began with a defense of the "typical use case"
and "95% of users," I would also note that this is an issue that won't
affect most users so it doesn't seem like a compelling reason to avoid
LVM in the default layout.
