Really, the most important bit of Warhammer 40k lore is that Ciaphas Cain killed the Archon King when things looked most dire for X-Com.

God drat, there really is so much overlap between X-Com and Chaos Gate.

Was he the Canadian who wore the snake queen as a hat?

There are approximately 1000 space marine chapters. Each one is given a number, although numbers will be reissued if a Chapter is destroyed. The Grey Knights are number 666 even though they were created before the Second Founding (which is when the loyalist Legions were officially split into Chapters) so they either called dibs or some other Chapter had to trade with them.

It's because they are the Emperor's special little boys and nobody is allowed to mess with them.

Seriously the Grey Knights are just the worst, lorewise.

The SMurfs at least have the fun Roman theme going on, and Robot came back to life.

now Grey Knights are the 'older 40k' cousins who wear ornate embossed armour and have archaeo-tech and tchotchkes and gribblies as wards against whatever weird poo poo they have to deal with today.

Black Templars were that, too, especially after the redesign made them into hosed-up looking Knights with candles and little guys and poo poo. They weren't just "Marines but moreso", they had a theme going on. Grey Knights? Whomst?

I feel like the answer to that question is that the average citizen's life kind of sucks so you have more pressing and immediate concerns to worry about than pondering those questions.

With an additional side order of the people who ask those questions out loud having a bad habit of getting immediately black-bagged by Imperial authorities in one form or another and never seen again, so you eventually learn to just stop asking questions entirely

"Blessed are the ignorant" and such.

To quote previous co commentator, "an open mind is like a fortress with its doors open and unguarded".
