I've noticed that Raspberry Pi OS use an initrd during boot.
I understand that initrd is useful for systems with complex storage setups (RAID, LVM, encrypted disks, etc.), but Raspberry Pi typically boots from a simple microSD card or USB storage.
Is there a specific technical reason why Raspberry Pi uses initrd, or is it more of a "nice to have" feature for flexibility?
