It's a dictatorship.
My observations are that the systemd people are not the best people for the

Hello,
In my opinion, it odes not matter.
after grub-install /dev/sda
grub knows that it has to read the file
/boot/grub2/grub.cfg
Then you can change it, it will use the chnaged file.
There is no copy of the copy in /dev/sdx

FYI if you get on oop and then another one, then kernel would show
tainted by the initial oop. That makes it sometimes hard to report an issue.
In the oops reporter you can see capital letters flags about the
taintedness of the kernel. There was some doc documented what each flag
