GRUB2 is not a "boot manager OS", it's a fairly simple, but modular, single 
threaded boot management application.

GRUB2 supports UEFI well, probably better than systemd-bloat. At the same 
time, it's much more flexible in other aspects, providing users with the 
ability to boot their system in a number of situations that systemd-bloat 
doesn't support, as well as providing a recovery console in the event that 
there are issues loading the kernel and initramfs. GRUB2 also supports Secure 
Boot. Does systemd-bloat?
