Yeah it becomes standard upstream behavior if you install
grub2-efi-modules and then grub2-install. Otherwise it's distinctly
non-standard, but the GNU folks and by extension the GRUB folks, are
stuck with no actual built-in Secure Boot support. All of that gets
added on at the distro level. Upstream hasn't incorporated any of
this, and last time I check (year or so) they explicitly had no
intention of doing so and instead depend on gnupg signatures for code
verification.
