Because the consensus seems to be that if you use any VPN besides OpenVPN you're a moron, and therefore some build-in solutions for some OSes only support OpenVPN.

Now I'm all confused. Let me check the built-in support for OpenVPN: Windows - nope. Android - nope. Linux - nope. iOS - nope. OS X - nope. The consensus you are referring to seems to be quite imaginary - or I'm missing something. What is it?

Some routers have built-in OpenVPN in their Linux distros.

Aha. That makes sense - I've seen PPTP, OpenVPN and L2TP as well.
