To quote the greatest civil rights leader of our time, the illustrious Dr. Rodney King, "Why can't we all just get along?" ( ha ha ha !)
Seriously, the typical Grendel bullet has twice the mass of the typical 223 bullet. Yes, you can "only" carry 26 rounds in a Grendel mag instead of the usual 30 of the 223 rounds... True. But on the other hand, you only have to shoot the bad guy ONCE with the Grendel. This means that you actually carry 26 potential "kills" per magazine with the Grendel versus 15 kills in a 223 mag ( assuming you have to shoot them twice)...
Right?
So even with 4 fewer rounds per magazine, the Grendel is in fact dispatching much more energy downrange per mag than the 223.... which means its more lethal.
