Which is it? Is it in the BIOS, or does it require clunky utilities installed on top of Windows as in the screen shots? Either way, sounds wonderful.
It can be both. The software can modify the same value as the BIOS, like modifying the NVRAM within macOS.
Oh, the BIOS is very user-friendly and convenient. I can see why so many people were aware of this feature and knew how to use it. </s>
I don't really have a dog in this fight, as I use macOS and Windows, but Apple isn't immune to poorly discoverable features and/or BIOS-like configuration settings. For example, who would think that in order to boot from a USB drive you would have to enter recovery mode, go to the Utilities menu, open the Startup Security Utility, and enable booting from external media. One could easily argue that this isn't user friendly or convenient either (especially since recovery mode is prominently a page of recovery options instead of configuration options). In both situations, the option is one that isn't necessarily common to change, but it's there if you need it. Both have sane defaults for their user base.
Anyway, it's great to have the feature available in whichever operating system you choose to use!
