Do you mean booting from the ISO images? That's a GRUB thing, it doesn't

However, being able to do away with GRUB is, to me, a bigger benefit than
not being able to boot ISOs is a drawback. Use either systemd-boot (it
doesn't need systemd)

You need it if your hardware doesn't support EFI booting.
