As Julius said, "just pass a boot param", is not easy on certain machines, like phone. It is not user friendly either. The system won't boot at all, a typical user will have to do a full reinstall to fix the error. Running with forced_gpt always on is not a solution either, because SD card formatted with a plain MBR over an older image with a GPT won't be mounted properly: that newer MBR will be ignored.
