"Ventoy is an open source tool to create bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files."

From the description of the project it doesn't seem running from a dedicated hard-drive partition is an actual goal of the project. I don't know that making choices which don't support a non-goal of a project are questionable.

It works great for my use case of booting from a USB drive and I very much appreciate that it exists.

This "goal" would require a grand total of 2 changes.

It's just like grubfm - a few files + a heuristic to use these with isos to make them bootable.
