Ok, my usecase is the following:
We are installing grub to EFI system partition and on the next load it must load itself (rmadisk&kernel) from Windows partiton (where our main product is installed). It need however to find the NTFS partition with our product, the only ways is GPT GUID.
Out of Linux world FS UUID is nothing, our main product works on Windows, and the only way to identify the partition correctly - GUID. UEFI spec also use GPT GUIDs in it's "device path", same as Windows.
grub2 is not for Linux load only.
