In case of the PinePhone (which is arm64) the actual loading of the kernel image from eMMC can take a second because the MMC controller isn't initialized for max speed by the bootloader, so having a smaller kernel saves some time between pressing the power button and having the splash screen show up (since the bootloader can't control the display)

U-Boot can absolutely use the max speed. Just apply some mmc patches from here: https://megous.com/git/u-boot/log/?h=opi-v2020.04 https://megous.com/git/u-boot/log/?h=opi-v2020.04

  Do you think those patches will be upstreamed?

    If someone does it, then yes, otherwise I don't plan to do it myself.
