Nobody has suggested "Grub should not be available". Having a timeout of
0 doesn't prevent any of the things you want to do. If you're unable to
get to grub at all without setting a timeout then that's something that
needs fixing, but we're better off exploring *why* your machine is
behaving differently rather than bandaiding over it with a timeout and
prompt.
