It is not politics, but it is a technical issue.

I'm afraid that you misunderstand us. The same thing happens very often in
other projects, in particular, in Linux. Even if a patch gives you more
power, a maintainer often rejects the patch because of technical reasons. It
is good in the long-term perspective. Do you know how many times a
contributor of Linux rewrites a patch before being accepted? This effort
makes Linux so stable and usable. It applies to GRUB as well.
So if you respect Linux's way, please respect GRUB's way as well.
BTW, GRUB is spread enough, and it is used mainly by GNU/Linux users. I have
seen some people who didn't know how popular GRUB was, just because they
didn't use GRUB themselves, but in reality it is used. Therefore, I must
rather struggle to remind people of that there are other operating systems
than GNU/Linux.
