But the GRUB2 package does contain more than these binaries (kernel.img

(grub-install), try boot menu and shell (grub-emu), check native
filesystem access (grub-fstest) or build rescue boot cdrom/floppy images
(grub-mkrescue).

If GRUB2 is used and Windows is the main work OS, it is IMO useful to
maintain the boot manger from Cygwin. If GRUB2 is not used as boot
manger, the tools in the package can still be used to create rescue
disks, tryout the boot shell or even access files in partitions with
non-Windows filesystem.
That makes sense. Objection withdrawn, and +1.
