To the best of my knowledge, the bootable flag has no significance unless you have a DOS-family MBR.
It is also significant on Macintosh partition tables, AIUI.

I don't know about Macintosh, but definitely Darwin on x86, at present I have a Darwin partition whose booter loops.
The point stands, with amendment: there are circumstances when the question need not be asked because there is no choice for the user to make.
