From the source:

https://doxygen.postgresql.org/event__trigger_8c.html#a4fc09f5b8231780b7f1abdd2a72f95a7

https://doxygen.postgresql.org/event__trigger_8c.html#a2b4e240a2c0aa9cfcc61f906af134913

Line 2185 case SCT_Grant

Looks like the information is never collected. The why is going to need
an answer from a developer.

As to case it looks like GRANT/REVOKE use a different method of deriving
the string then other commands, namely using stringify_adefprivs_objtype()
