1. security, if you don't need any modules you can disable modules entirly and then it's impossible to add a module without patching the kernel first (the module load system calls aren't there)

If this is the case then why do I get systemcall undefined error messages when I make a mistake and attempt to load a module on a kernel without modules enabled?

AFAIU the security improvement of no-modules are way overrated.
