You are correct. I tested with a Server minimal install and it was there so
I (wrongly) assumed that it would be installed for Workstation as well.

This is my fault, because the grubby package used to be in core and someone
moved it to arm-tools due extlinux not having BLS support and still needing
the old grubby tool.

But I mentioned that only the grubby-deprecated package was needed for armv7
and that grubby should be in a group that's included by all products/spins.

And was suggested standard as the correct group, but as Chris mentioned this
is not pulled by workstation-product-environment.

I wonder how we didn't find this bug before...

Right, that's why it gets pulled in for Server installs:

server-product-environment -> standard -> grubby

If some products/spins don't want the standard group to be brought into
then I think that grubby should be moved to the core group again. I've
proposed the following pull-request for fedora-comps:
