Yes your way will probably work. But then why not state that on the download page, and remove the the option for automatic install from the ISO, as hey, it just doesn't work as it should. It would save a certain set of people a lot hassle. I could probably also install Solus the Arch way and skip the installer totally.
What I'm trying to get at is there are a lot of people out there who don't want to mess around with disk partitioning. All they want is an operating system that works, and dosen't track everything they do, and to be honest I'm getting that way. That's why I like Fedora. Open source, rock solid, more up to date than Debian but not as bleeding edge as Arch. But there is talk of adding telemetry to Fedora, I doubt it would be anything invasive and it is still just a proposal at the moment, but I thought I'd start looking for a backup just in case.
I used to build my own PC's. My current desktop is a right Frankenstein setup and an example of what everyone says you shouldn't do, The motherboard is from an old Dell Mini PC, I upgraded the processor with a second hand chip from ebay. The ram has two random mixed 8GB ram sticks, and the Hard drives all mismatched things I picked up on Ebay, It has a second hand AMD RX 480 GPU. And dual boots between windows and Fedora. The majority of people probably wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. But if I replace it, I am now more of the mind to buy something that has been ready built and tested. And at the same rate, I don't really want a Distro I have to fight with just to install it, I'll install Arch for that.
My fedora machines use UEFI, and so did this one when it was running Fedora, Debian, Manjaro, BlendOS, Linux Mint and MakuluLinux. All of which booted from the USB Stick in UEFI mode and installed correctly from their installers. I didn't have to go into the BIOS or anything, and I didn't mess with gparted to setup the drive first. And I haven't hibernated a PC in years, I either suspend or just power down.
And as you say there is no issue with the ISO (other than it won't boot for a certain set of people, and there is of course no possibility that the issue can be looked into or fixed, because well there is nothing wrong). It's just like the way I really didn't need to buy a support for my graphics card which sagged. I mean it worked 90% of the time without trying to grind the fans to death. Which is starting to make me wonder, how many other other issues are there that may need working around that no one will admit to.
