I've thought about this for long time, and it really is a philosophical issue, MS/Intel extortion really. What is really needed is a simple 32bit live kernel parsing utility that can be booted from a USB. Linux systems could then be installed without grub to partitions and booted from the kernel without messing with UEFI or Legacy at all. There are rescue utilities that can do this, and live Ubuntu disks with rEFInd installed can, and they can even create CSMs in some cases, but they are all full of unneccesary (linux for dummies) junk. If the kernel is installed without grub it doesn't matter to the disk whether or not it's Legacy or UEFI and it's really not Legacy anyway on a GPT disk, just an ext4 partition) If the kernel parser can find it, it can boot it.
