Why are there so many types of bootloaders (GPL, GRUB, MBR…) ? What’s the main differnece between them?

Question

At first, I was trying to understand what a bootloader was, and I think I managed to do this. But now I’m getting confused by all these different types of bootloaders. What’s the difference between them? What’s the reason there are so many of them?

I thinking you may have your terms confused.

MBR (and I think you meant GPT?) Are partition table schemes, while GRUB is an example of a bootloader.
