Because LILO is the Linux Loader. You're free to use grub if you enjoy bloated sucky software; that's the beauty of free software. It doesn't mean the kernel contributors have to support you, though.

If your distro people already use that hook by occupying /sbin/installkernel, you you can make ~/bin/installkernel, or change the INSTALL_KERNEL variable to get your way.
