I installed a standard Ubuntu trusty desktop amd64, and that *does* set the "splash" option in grub by default. Also, if I remove "splash" I don't see the graphical plymouth screen. So in that regard it behaves pretty much exactly like xenial. Does Ubuntu GNOME configure this differently, in the splash theme package perhaps?
