This will never fly. The disk encryption stack these days is more than
querying for a passwords. It's FIDO2, PKCS11, TPM2, … Reimplementing
that in Grub is a terrible idea. It's awful enough Grub reimplements
its own storage/file system stack, replicating badly what Linux
does. It's even worse trying to shoehorn the complexity of the disk
encryption stack into it as well.

Good luck with that,
