Some of them are hardcoded to boot that file (just put shim + grubia32.efi / grubx64.efi there), while others check for the file, but boot another path (which may also be hardcoded) see: https://hansdegoede.dreamwidth.org/24232.html For a couple of devices which I encountered which do this. I did not know about the "Windows Boot Manager" name being a thing too. So yes so much for UEFI being a sensible standard...
