It's mainly a feature of your BIOS. Modern BIOSes allow you to boot from a USB device, possibly by going into BIOS setup and changing the boot sequence. Mine, a Toshiba, comes up with a friendly screen where I can pick the boot device during the first couple of seconds after I turn on the computer. (It's a graphical rendition so if you don't know what it's for, it's pretty hard to guess what the icons mean.)

SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8) systemd-efi-boot-generator SYSTEMD-EFI-BOOT-GENERATOR(8)
NAME
systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.
systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].
