INT 18h BIOS call

Greetings developers; I have sort of a question and feature request. My question is why GRUB stage1 does not use the BIOS INT 18h call on failure so that the BIOS knows that the bootstrap has failed and can either try the next bootable device or ask the user if they want to retry the boot sequence (whatever the BIOS is configured to do) instead of just sitting in a loop? It would be much more robust to use this feature, especially in high-availability environments. Any response is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
