Because Today plugins have to be available immediately on boot up, and storage cards, even the EXT_ROM, load just a little bit after boot up. Same deal for device drivers.

As for things that create alarms, I don't know if this is still a problem, but with older versions of WM, the card wouldn't "wake up" until about a second after the device, so if an alarm goes off, tries to access the program that called it and the program doesn't "exist" for another second, bad things.
