Grub is not installed in Fedora, though grubby, grub2-tools, grub2-common and

Master bootloader? grub2 is installed by default.
Waste of time, space and bandwidth to have it. This is multiboot. On p5bse F31 is
on sda22, f30 on sda18 and f29 on sda21, among many others, >30 root partitions.
Then uninstall them. They don't appear to be required by anything, but
they're also very small.
It does seem odd that the kernel-core package's files whose destination is /boot/
are located in /lib/modules/<version>/ in the rpm rather than /boot/.
What files are those? The vmlinuz and initramfs files are in /boot in
the rpm.
Viewed in mc-4.8.23, kernel-core-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64.rpm has no /boot/ in
CONTENTS.cpio but does have these in /lib/modules/<version>/:
.vmlinuz.hmac
System.map
config
vmlinuz
That's where I copy them from (using mc) after the normal (rpm/dnf) installation
fails to put them in /boot/ during whatever process(es) produces the initramfs in
/boot/.
Then you've got some other problem with /boot because:
$ rpm -qlp kernel-core-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64.rpm
/boot/.vmlinuz-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64.hmac
/boot/System.map-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64
/boot/config-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64
/boot/initramfs-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64.img
/boot/vmlinuz-5.3.7-300.fc31.x86_64
