This is completely specious. A user who considers falling back to an older kernel as a troubleshooting step also knows how this selection is made and where to go look for it. That they don't know the key to press is beside the point, they know they need to find it. Their trouble is brief.

There is zero information in the GRUB menu that conveys kernel fallback as a troubleshooting method. It's completely non-obvious until you learn it (from a source other than the GRUB menu).
