The grub developers may or may not be dictators but the reason that
they don't want grub2 installed in a pbr is that they don't want to
have to waste their time dealing with the bugs that'll come fro doing
so.

The whole point of using Linux is to be using FOSS not that you
necessarily have complete control. There are fewer restriction in
Gentoo than in binary distros but you can't do anything, or people
wouldn't be posting their emerge output on a regular basis because of
this or that blocker.
