I don't think recent Intel macs even support "Boot Camp" (CSM) any more. You need to go through UEFI, Boot Camp now is just a software wizard for getting UEFI Windows installed.

  You're totally correct, it is indeed just putting the drivers on the installation media and partitioning magic.

    On 2017+ machines you don’t even need an external drive, during the partitioning setup it carves out a temporary partition to store the contents of the ISO + their drivers, windows installation customisation etc. And it’s all deleted after the installation of the drivers after windows is installed

      My 2015 Mac (running Big Sur) did that temporary-partition dance too.
