It's what I thought once I was aware of all these troubles:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/groovy-to-use-grub2-for-booting-installer-media-in-any-modes-on-all-architectures/16871/34

But it looks like nobody knew about EFI partition with BIOS and I've been asked to file a bug report about it.

Fortunately year after year we are going to have less old computers based on old BIOS and also Ubuntu 20.10 and 21.04 are not LTS version and therefore not so popular.
But a feature like this should have been "loudly" communicated to all users before landing into the installer, after decades with no need of EFI partition with BIOS. And should have been also bullet proof tested before landing to users.
