That's not an argument for why we should not present one. It is an

Sorry but that's nonsense. Pretty much all other operating systems do
not display the boot loader by default and you see this as a reason
for showing it?
What kind of weird logic is that? Or do you really think we can have
"we do show a screen that you won't care about most of the time on
every boot" as a selling point for fedora?

You can't develop an operating system while living under a rock you
have to look at what the competition does.

<pre wrap="">
Yes 2 seconds is a LONG time when your system is using an SSD.
Booting should be instant there is no reason why we should have to
wait before being able to use the system. (killing grub delay gets us
closer to that goal).
I'd say booting is a more common task then messing with bootloader
options so lets optimize for the former rather then the later.

How many times do you boot your system each day? 10? Okay thats a
whole 20 additional seconds.<br>
