Why separate vfat partition for boot?

The standard sabresd image has a separate boot partition which is formatted as a vfat filesystem

Why is this? Why vfat? 

I've read that the reason for separate boot partitions was that older BIOS's could only read small partitions. However why format it as vfat?

Is there any reason not to use a single ext4 partition for the rootfs and boot?
