It's mixed. Some do it inadvertently, including the case where USB
boots use one mode and internal drive boot uses the other mode. And
also the case where users go on a "push all the buttons" spree and
turn on legacy.
Well, it won't actually boot both ways unless you've installed
bootloaders for both paths - which we don't do for desktop/server use
cases, only cloud-style use cases.
(Also, on systems with legacy CSM, enabling the legacy boot path doesn't
typically turn off the non-legacy path - it just adds the legacy options
as additional boot targets (either after or before the non-legacy ones).)
Be well,
