GRUB is mostly pointless in scenarios where OS boots fine and only one OS is installed in graphical session. It would be nice to hide it.

Why? If you have just one operating system installed, you can just hibernate your machine anyway and don't have to reboot the machine at all.

You need to reboot for updates/upgrades (which in case of Tumbleweed are just like updates ;) ) If I didn't restart as much as I do, I wouldn't be suggesting this change :P

Why don't you just hide GRUB and/or set the timeout to 0? Zero patches, zero wait. You will have to remember the sequence to interrupt it for those odd times you want to pass flags to the kernel, rollback etc. - and be quick-on-the-draw :) I've found a 1 second timeout is a happy medium, and doesn't detract from the normal/fast boot sequence for family I've transitioned.
