What made you think it would "append itself" to some other OS's bootloader
config file?

You've had the option to alter the bootloader installation, to either
install it into the MBR or into the boot sector of a partition. The former
overwrites any existing bootloader in the MBR. Obviously. The latter can
be used to chainload Fedora's GRUB from your existing GRUB2 - you would
append the chainloading commands to your GRUB2 manually, however.
