Limitations of grub-legacy are a real PITA.
As are the complications of Grub2.
grub2 requires knowledge of a single command - grub2-install. I do not call this overly complicated.
You over-simplify. Due to the significant differences between Grub Legacy and Grub2, to become competent in the use of grub2-install may require unlearning grub-install. On multiboot systems, mixing the two is a can of worms. Grub Legacy can be maintained and used through its shell and thus without mounting the target and without dependence on config files scattered in disparate locations. To me who already knows Grub Legacy and has no need for features it lacks, this is an overwhelming advantage. It's good enough to carry me until such point as I need EFI loading kernels and initrds directly, making Grub2, depending on POV, either stillborn, or dead end. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
