Unless there is something I an missing, having a big kernel taking up RAM and disk space with support for hardware your phone doesn't have would be a waist of limited resources.

It would make porting CyanogenMod and other custom ROM's a lot easier to other phones, so I don't think that would be a waste. If manufacturers aren't going to support the devices anymore, at least the community will. Plus, it should make it a little easier for manufacturers, too.
