Should diagnostic tools be included in motherboard Flash ROM?

jguk.org — Jon Grant poses an interesting point on his blog, "PCs these days all have a BIOS which launches the OS bootstrap from disc. If the harddisc fails this leaves us stuck scrabbling for bootable CDs/USB Sticks/Floppies to diagnose the problem." So why don't motherboard vendors include recovery tools in Flash ROM? LinuxBIOS could solve part of this!
