If you buy cheap HW you'll get totally half-assed firmware. It is usually the firmware that causes stupid reordering of the boot entries and weird resets. Business class computers (Thinkpads, Latitudes or Elitebooks) have somewhat half-assed firmware. So you usually don't encounter shenanigans like that. Only server computers have almost not half-assed firmware. They are very reliable but take forever to boot. If you want non-half-assed firmware, found your own computer company or join big tech where they can afford custom motherboards with their own firmware.
