Every new machine passing thru or stopping here in past few years, _has_ -
partly cos we check priorly that it will have: but ISTR talk recently on/via
anandtech/... that the predictable is happening - i.e. of some machines
being purely uefi; there's always some manuf that will/may want to 'cut
corners' sooner rather than later and just do uefi-only, at least for some
models.
(And as noted elsewhere and here again, legacy-mode and gpt work just fine
together; tho' I guess there'd be corner-cases.)
