You obviously misinterpreted what happened. GRUB as a whole ignores the
boot flag. My guess is there was a different GRUB on each partition, and
update-grub applied to the inactive one, so changing the boot flag just
changed which GRUB was booted.

Nonsense. If the boot count mattered for hard disk longevity, there
would be a SMART attribute for it. There is none.
