It was deliberate yes.

Input from Design -> not quite completely of the things changed.

We used to have a mix of wording of:
- nothing shown / hidden
- Install $flavour
- Try $flavour
- Start $flavour

Depending on boot mode & flavour.

General guidance is to keep install time menu, same as installed one.

For groovy all flavours, in all modes, just use "$flavour".

With Hidden/Install/Try/Start all dropped.

As all flavours in groovy boot to a live session, which can be user
interactively, for recovery, or to complete the install.

Please do not introduce divergence, or impose "Install" which was used by
minority of flavours.

Please note "Install $foo" comes from the days of separate live & install
media, as well as jumbo media that required a reboot if one wanted to
install versus complete the install. Yet for more than a decade now, we had
live session that can do everything.
