Why not switch from the ancient GRUB2 to the modern systemd-boot?
Because it doesn't support traditional BIOS boot, or the boot systems
of POWER, Z-series and numerous other corner cases. Just look at the
thread about BIOS support from a few months ago to see how
controversial even considering that was. If we then move to it just
for UEFI based platforms there needs to be a lot of logic to deal with
different boot paths.
