It would be useful in the --help version to note if it's required or not on 
UEFI systems. Right now it's ambiguous if it's a necessary option or not. If 
the landing place of grub.efi is variable, merely say "grub.efi installation 
location depends on destination device and distribution".

And yes, it rather belongs to grub documentation which is why I find it 
hilarious a GRUB developer is writing RTFM when well prior to that it should be 
WTFM. The GRUB manual is a C.F. of mayhem and obscurity as it is, but it's a 
waste land of nothingness when it comes to UEFI. So RTFM? That's pure GRUB 
comedy. Maybe it's an inside joke to tell people to go read non-existent 
documentation.
