Linux has more bootloaders, distro derivatives (made mutually
incompatible for sport), and configuration file formats than you and I
both have fingers and toes. I can count Microsoft and Apple total for
all device categories on one hand.

Grubby is effectively the marriage counselor for this bootloader
insane asylum we have on Linux. So I don't actually think it's easier
to ditch grubby unless there's political will to pick one bootloader.
One configuration file format. And a handful of supported bootable
layouts. And also get FESCo a 12 month supply of earplugs to help
avoid the ensuing ire of users whose favorite nutty layout is no
longer supported.
