That's right. Old news.

Red Hat broke the bootloader way back when by switching to grub and later switching to grub2.

grub2 "is good" only for people who never worked with other boot loaders (syslinux/pxelinux, uboot, etc).

On modern machines, UEFI BIOS can boot Linux directly (with a secureboot shim), and grub is an unnecessary.
