We had a Mac Mini user who wasn't able to use hybrid graphics on his Mac after using the eGPU.

It would have to be set only once from user space (using > efivarfs) I'm not really sure about efivars here, but am ready to test. As long as it doesn't break booting of macOS or Windows, I don't find it an issue. macOS may also reset the variable, again have to verify by testing the same. I guess it will also get reset if a users resets their NVRAM.
