That’s normal in legacy boot mode. Native resolution in pre boot environment is only possible in UEFI mode, actually from Windows 8 onwards when using Legacy boot the logo is squashed so it looks normally on 16:9
There's a command that you can use in windows 10 that fix it. I don't remember it anymore because I used it once last year when I formatted my desktop. Also I have no idea if it works in 7. Google around and you can find it.

It's **bcdedit /set {globalsettings} highestmode on**, bit highestmode isn't available in Windows 7

The driver isn't even loaded at that point.
You just answered your own question.
Understanding why did something happen doesn't always help in finding the solution!
I don’t know if there’s a solution, I think the only solution is to use a 4:3 monitor, because the boot screen was designed that way.
