Yes it does. But graphical (bios/uefi like) menu would be much easier for some users. So they don't get scared away by text console.

Top-5 of this year's Frivolous Requests List.  Big Grin
If anyone can implement that for you, sure. But what's the point? You're not meant to spend hours in the boot menu. At most you pick an alternative kernel and off you go into that kernel.
