I have always wanted the kernel entries for Fedora and Ubuntu in sub-menus and the current kernel in the main menu. Traditionally grubby has always rewritten the grub menus to undo that functionality, hence I have always run grub2-mkconfig, plus I turn off blscfg as it has the same issues as grubby has done. I will continually run grub2-mkconfig until such time as the other facilities do things the way I want.grubby changes the per-kernel options (in the entries files), it has never cared about what was in /etc/default/grub.
Typically /etc/default/grub is useless because typically no one ever runs grub2-mkconfig, so the file is kind of pointless.
And kernel installs copy the options from one of the other kernels(likely the currently booting on), so if you have the right options on the other kernels then it will copy the right options.
regards,
Steve

I have always run grub2-mkconfig both for legacy and uefi environments
because in the past grubby did not honour the configuration I specified
in /etc/default/grub. For example, I always specify that I want
sub-menus for all linux environments and grubby always refused to do
that, whereas grub2-mkconfig always did, hence I always used that.
