grubby changes the per-kernel options (in the entries files), it has never
cared about what was in /etc/default/grub.

Typically /etc/default/grub is useless because typically no one ever runs
grub2-mkconfig, so the file is kind of pointless.

And kernel installs copy the options from one of the other kernels(likely
the currently booting on), so if you have the right options on the other
kernels then it will copy the right options.
