LFS recudes seeks on writes but requires more seeks on reads. This was bad for general purpouse use so they didn't become popular with rotating media.
It's a perfect fit for flash, because there read seeks are (almost) free, and the overwrite-less, sequential writes are a perfect fit. Flash only supports read, erase, and write-on-erased operations, the exact set that LFS uses.
