Something I don't quite get.

It's pure curiosity, that's all. :p

Is their a paticular reason Grenadier Elite is unlocked from the start, but you have to rank up to unlock normal Grenadier?

Is it something to do with that weird glitch in Gears 1 where if you selected Grenadier as you default Locust, you got Grenadier Elite and vice versa, or is it in the Horde, "Elite's" are actually lower down the food chain? ;)

No its kind of like why anthony carmine requires level 75 or 76. Its a character for the hardcore gears players who have played since the beginning. The grenadier is my favorite locust so working for him is pretty cool to me.
