grubby is less 'drastic' that grub2-mkconfig. it takes the existing
config and appends a new entry to it. grub2-mkconfig blows away the
config and starts over again each time.
i don't recall whether we ever made a specific decision to keep using
grubby over grub2-mkconfig or whether it's just inertia, though. pjones
might.
