I know, I'd already covered that, but I was just pointing out it was
less than straight-forward.

And for what it's worth, on the newly installed Fedora 40 (after a
fight and half), it's not mounted on /boot/efi, but inside it (like my
CentOS example did).

i.e.  /boot/efi/EFI/fedora

That's a clean install, so it does that itself.

We could have simply had /EFI mounted straight in root (for utter
simplicity), or /boot/EFI instead of /boot/efi/EFI.

Were we ever going to have any local files inside /boot/efi that needed
EFI to be deeper inside it?
