Where else would they be better placed?
I have no desire to clutter my disk with endless numbers of partitions, 
and placing them in the root partition is just plain stupid.

Again... where better to place the tools that can fix a broken system?

Keep in mind that these tools should rarely (if ever) be used.

After all... these are supposed to be the tools of last resort... where 
better to place them... than the partition that's not supposed to be 
touched?

The /boot partition is, in fact, the perfect location for such emergency 
tools.
