GRUB also cares about all its module files, which are now much to big to stash
in 512 bytes. You don't need them for all configurations, but if your kernel is
on an LVM/RAID/etc. volume you need someplace outside of that to store the GRUB
modules so it can find the kernel.
Which is why I just avoid it and make a regular partition for /boot, instead of
a GRUB partition for /pre-boot. 6 of 1, half-dozen...
