If that were true, you'd have to configure grub with device drivers to
match your hardware.
Or it'd have to handle it, automatically, without user configuration.
But, yes, it doesn't sound practical.
Or possible, given that grub can boot multiple operating systems and
doesn't know anything about their device driver interfaces - and the
linux interfaces change all the time.
