Speaking for myself (since I have a few now), I'm not running OpenWRT
on mine but my own distro, and I guess most users will run either
Buildroot or their own distro. It's unlikely that we'll see very
generic distros there given the limited storage you'd typically have
in an SPI NOR (16-32 MB) and the small RAM (64MB) which tends to
discourage anyone from booting a regular distro over other storage
anyway.

Thus my guess is that most users will keep building their own kernels.

But this just emphasizes your points :-)

Just my two cents,
Willy
