Thanks for pointing out this nuance, I wasn't aware of it.

But I still wonder: why is fish first built to
vgrav12zra9zky21ahm4x1qg8g4v58fj... and then immediately grafted to
avk637800w1n7z1z0hnzx80r0fpd6729... Why not building directly to
avk637800w1n7z1z0hnzx80r0fpd6729...?

I might be misunderstanding the basics of grafting :p
