Another use case is aarch64 laptops effort. We have the same kernel, and the same image bootable and usable across 4 different laptop models, with the only difference between them being the DTB to load. I was looking at how I can distinguish between the four models and automatically pick the right dtb. I did see these patches and was very sad when I found out that they didn't get merged.
I very much don't want us to depend on aarch64-laptops-special-sauce though, so while I want this functionality in GRUB, I do not consider the aarch64-laptops project an argument for that.
Sorry, the above may have come across more arrogantly than intended: I mean it is not an argument for that *for me*, clearly others may have different opinions.
