Well, they *can* be MFM, but they don't need to! So, your question was not
that wrong...

Well, the CP/M boot disk is indeed GCR. Anyhow, I think the main reason is
not that this is simpler or so, but more that CP/M on the C128 should have
worked even with a 1541 which could not read MFM as we all know (not
counting some hacks...)
