Avoiding work can be done in a number of ways, such as putting the work
in library or utility package so it can be reused---you do more work now
and avoid lots later. Avoiding it by putting it in batch files for
other people to deal with seems kind of self-defeating... by doing that
you've invented an unparsable form for storing critical information. In
the case of grub2 people are basically stuck with editing it by hand
forever.

I have never found it to "just work" since about the first time I
installed Ubuntu. Kernel updates and post-processing to update grub
seems prone to breaking those critical links in root.
What I did find was that I could get it to work by carefully
hand-editing the obscured information in the /etc/grub.d/ scripts, but I
got tired of cutting and pasting uuid's every time the thing decided to
probe reality and rewrite proxified scripts, and took a different approach.
Not everybody wants the same thing.
