rpi-eeprom
Installation scripts and binaries for the Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 bootloader EEPROMs
Thanks for sharing, didn't know that.
Similar PSA: a common Pi complaint is that SD cards wear out quickly under 24/7 use. Routing most logs to memory rather than disk vastly reduces the wear on the SD: https://github.com/azlux/log2ram
The Pi is a lot less "weird" than a lot of the hardware the mainline kernel does support
Wanna run Linux on a Sega Dreamcast? (game console from 1998)
Well there's a dreamcast_defconfig in the mainline kernel still

How about a Nintendo 64 from 1996? Someone sat down and hacked that out too!

Or for more recent examples. How about some ancient routers?

These are bits of hardware added by hobbyists or small teams. The Raspberry Pi foundation is a company with paid developers supporting a set of devices you could count on one hand (or two if you include every variant separately)
Until this is "fixed" by the Pi project (indeed, most PCs will boot loop if no boot devices succeed), I'd try something like iPXE (loaded onto SD or USB.) That should be able to loop properly.

I think it was this one:

I had the same problem as you, updated my eeprom and the problem was fixed
