Linux is certainly capable of using more advanced schemes, but most Linux distributions face pressure to remain compatible with Windows partitioning schemes, since it's often installed alongside Windows... And Windows' methods have barely changed since the 80's, except for the recent GPT upgrade which just extends for larger disks again. Installing on single-disk consumer computers also means there's less need to consider anything else.

I admit I've been a bit resistant to LVM and the like myself. Needing a daemon to deal with your partitions just seems like begging for trouble.
