     This has nothing to do with Linux becoming Windows-like, nor 
Systemd. Udev started doing that a dozen years ago, at least, and 
Windows desktop or laptops do not need that feature more than Linux's. 
This feature is essentially dedicated to servers with multiple network 
connections, which is the domain where Linux dominates.


     EFI responds to a need for security, because, without it, it is so 
easy, in a few minutes, with a simple USB memory stick to steal and/or 
fuck-up the contents of any PC. It's a bad response because, IIUC, it is 
enough to have an EFI-compatible boot-loader, but... well tried :-)
