I have hypothesized that this is because these custom kernels only recommend
initramfs-tools rather than depending on it, which allows the
initramfs-tools package to be removed before the kernel image package is
removed, and initramfs-tools does not consider itself responsible for
removing the initramfs from disk on package purge.
