To be honest?
Because when I wrote the initial scripts, lilo was easier. ;)

One of the goals is to offer the choice of either. In fact, a default 
grub.conf file is already generated during install and saved as 
grub.conf.slinky. I just have to add some scripting to use grub specific 
device names (hd0) etc.

There were also reported problems in some cases with grub and the kernel 
included with 7.3. I don't recall the issues at present, but I decided at 
the time that it was better to be safe and use lilo.
