I suspect from your response that you haven't used rg.

I have written plenty of scripts using both grep and occasionally rg as part of my work and I consider either behavior very much predictable and documented. If anything grep behavior is slightly less predictable when switching between say a laptop running Mac and a server running Linux because of the variations between grep.
