So the issue is how the e2b image is written to USB, if it's UEFI compatible. Removing the SSD is a single screw once you have the back cover off.
Not 100% positive, but I think that what you read on the E2B website means is that you can put specially created UEFI image files on the thumb drives and E2B has the ability to boot them just like E2B can boot regular legacy based ISOs. What makes e2b a nice tool is you can just drop and drag ISOs onto the stick and they are magically bootable without configuring anything.
I think the issue is that UEFI requires a FAT32 partition to initiate booting, and the E2B stick is NTFS. At least thats what I just read here:

Also, i definitely did pick USB to be the default boot option when I reinstalled with the firmware utility earlier today. So it's very weird. I may open it up and see how hard it is to remove the SSD to force the USB boot.
