However, in the meantime, Ed Maste said
Agreed on both points.
In the man page we have:
...
That said, it's conceivable that this could end up invoking GNU egrep
and thus emit a warning. It doesn't hurt to use grep -E instead.
and then even

freebsd-update: use grep -E instead of egrep
GNU egrep emits a warning that it is obsolescent and suggests grep -E
instead. Switch to grep -E in case we end up invoking GNU (e)grep (and
for consistency with other invocations in this file).
So this was that.
