I don't see why either of those should exist entirely in /boot. You

Where else would they be better placed?
in /dev/sda2, also known as "hidden rescue partition".
I have no desire to clutter my disk with endless numbers of partitions,
indeed. only one additional partition is enough. and guess what ?
that's what numberless laptop manufacturers do in order to store a
ghost-ed backup of the main partition
Most laptops (ie., Win$hit boxen) don't need a /boot or even a swap
partition.
If you have /dev/sda1 as a /boot partition, /dev/sda2 as a /rescue
partition, /dev/sda3 as a swap partition, /dev/sda4 becomes an
extended partition... and /dev/sda5 winds up as your /root partition.
And? The numbers are free. I can see not wanting to have lots of
partitions to distinguish from, but this use case doesn't strike me as
killer.
