The problem with this solution is, it is discarding most of the
information of os-prober, and instead is just enumerating the kernels &
initrds that are listed in /lib/modules. Now I haven't checked with many
distributions, but I know Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSUSE and RedHat is using
this same location. But you could build boot entries for any kernel you
can find anywhere. It's just that you couldn't build initrds for those
other kernels because update-initramfs will not run (I don't know about
dracut).

I have reported a related problem in these forums, but got a Won't Fix.
I'm now maintaining my own patches for my own needs, and anybody is
welcome to them.
