Same problem, 20.04 on 2019 Mac Pro.  And in this case, I *can't*
install GRUB on the internal drive at all, because the built-in NVME
disk is non-writable in Linux.  So I had to go through a lengthy process
of mounting things and running grub manually with about a hundred-
character-long command.

Worse, every time I install any kind of update that upgrades the kernel,
it looks like I have to repeat that whole lengthy process, or else the
system won't be bootable.

How is something so critical still so badly broken after this many
years?  Installing the bootloader on the same disk as the OS should be
the DEFAULT.  Installing it on some random disk shouldn't even be
POSSIBLE, much less the only supported behavior.

If the internal disk ever becomes writable in a future kernel update,
this bug could be *seriously* bad.
