@AsahiLinux@social.treehouse.systems it's just a detail (so feel free to ignore this) and I fear I have missed some explanation while reading (and reading again), but:
What is the reason for the first sub-title "Welcome back Master Boot Record"? That seems to be the only place where MBR is mentioned.
Sounds a bit like the bootable flag needs to be set in the protective MBR, but it doesn't say so, that's why I was wondering.

@kernellogger@hachyderm.io @AsahiLinux@social.treehouse.systems The bootable flag thing is something that only exists in MBRs, and Apple's APFS containers (which contain a GPT when hosting a Linux install) have revived that thing. So now it functions like MBR does.
