depends on if the external drive has any partitions marked as bootable (regardless if a valid bootloader is installed).
I'm not particularly invested either way, but it strikes me as logical that if you want the box to boot from something other than the default (internal ssd), then you need to manually take steps for it to do so. And since you already need to connect the USB stick/HDD that you want to boot, I don't see the hassle of selecting it from the boot menu after powering on
