What was the reason for not using kernel-install[1] standard instead of all of those Arch's exclusive hooks again??

There are several reasons for not using it. It's overly complex, it does a lot of assumptions for you, among other things. That doesn't mean it *can't* be used by the users. We are taking baby steps on making the booting process on Arch overall more flexible.
You can *right now* completely override the mkinitcpio hooks and, install and deal with the kernel *any* way you want. Want to not use /boot? Can do. Want to stuff everything on /efi? Can do. Want a hook that will build your efistub and update entries? Can do. This update opens up lots of possibilities, while also maintaining (some) backward compatibility.
