I agree, but modern PC don't have legacy any more.

Parted says:
Disk /dev/nvme0n1: 1024GB
Partition Table: gpt
1 1049kB 1075MB 1074MB fat16 boot, esp
and df says:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 1048288 5456 1042832 1% /boot/efi
Files are:
# find /boot/efi -type f
/boot/efi/EFI/aaa/grubx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/aaa/shimx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/aaa/mmx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/aaa/BOOTX64.CSV
/boot/efi/EFI/aaa/grub.cfg <<< it works with source!
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/fbx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/mmx64.efi
I have another disk:
Disk /dev/sda: 1024GB
...
1 1049kB 1075MB 1074MB
So???
Best,
