One reason might be that smart? competent? people can do kernel development without a debugger. Or so I've been told.

  From my understanding in many cases, `printk()` is your debugger. I've been told that for example, even using things like kgdb can be extremely limited if not useless in the context of debugging device drivers

    You are right. People use only what they have. They also don't contribute to things that are actively discouraged from being used.
