Can anybody tell me why the grub package seems to want to label

I had thought that, by definition, EFI partitions were basically FAT,
which doesn't support the extended attributes for SELinux contexts...
So, why does the Grub package insist on attempting to label the EFI
partition, as in the following?
Upgrading : grub2-common-1:2.04-15.fc32.noarch
2/127
error: lsetfilecon: (/boot/efi/EFI/fedora,
system_u:object_r:boot_t:s0) Operation not supported
I noticed this first on F31 for the first time, awhile back, but I
figured it was harmless and would be fixed eventually. However, since
it has been happening for months on F31, and still is happening on F32
now that I've upgraded, I'm wondering if there's a good reason why
it's trying to do this.
