I am going to mark this as won't fix for cloud-images.
grub-legacy-ec2 is only shipped in Xenial and Bionic. In Cosmic it was

Xenial is coming to end of standard support and needs it for HVM
support. I don't see any major changes
And by HVM support, I actually mean PV support, doh.

Canonical no longer publishes PV images on EC2,
I looked a bit further, started to file a MIR bug for pv-grub-menu. It
