I'm sure part of it for me has to be the efistub. I don't understand why anyone would want to bother with a bootloader in modern times because efi will let you pick and choose what to boot just fine without one. Clobbered bootloader is also why your system goes back to windows after an update (windows has always had issues cohabiting with other operating systems that weren't windows)

I'm not too concerned about the details of how the kernel gets loaded into memory, whether it's the firmware or efistub or grub. I just like grub because it's familiar and has a nice menu that makes it easy to tweak options.
