Well, if distributions choose to put boot loader spec drop-ins onto such weird file systems they either didn't understand that the spec is about defining a *shared*, *common* resource, because that way they made it inaccessible to everyone else. Or they did understand it, but simply didn't care. Whether sd-boot is used to read it, or grub doesn't really matter at that point...
