Not so recently: 2 years ago. And by the time Emacs 28 hits the
network, it will probably be 4 years.

Your original explanation of the rationale was that you always press
TAB because you are used to it in Grep buffers.

It sounds like no compromise I suggest is acceptable. then I don't
know how to solve this disagreement.

AFAIU, Dmitry didn't like the proposal to have different bindings in
these two modes.

There are other modes where it does, e.g. message-mode.
