Why?
While the UEFI spec permits using MBR for booting, it's confusing because
there's no actual single standard for MBR. There is for GPT.
Anyway, all OS installers I'm aware of on multiple platforms enforce GPT
for UEFI installations.

Yes, but it means giving bad advice. And that is to enable "legacy" OS
support to present a faux BIOS to the booting system instead of exposing
UEFI. It's bad advice because you have no good reason for wanting to use
MBR, it's an arbitrary request.
