A multiboot system needs at least a message to inform the user how to
get to the boot manager (the GRUB menu). A Fedora only system probably
should entirely suppress the menu or notice how to get to it.
Somebody who is capable of installing multiple operating systems on one
machine should easily be savvy enough to remember that pressing
shift/esc/space/f2/whatever gets him the boot menu.
In a multiboot scenario you normally once switch off all bootscreen
suppression and will not look into again until something breaks it.
If you installed multiple OSes and noticed that the boot menu is gone,
wouldn't pressing these keys be your natural reaction anyway?
No. Because switching off bootmenu suppression is a one-time job, you
will have forgotten what to do if something switches of bootmenus.
