I know it was in beta. Maybe it's now the default?

"USB msd boot support is now available in the default bootloader version 2020-09-03"

(although the page you reference doesn't really reflect that - see the last paragraph)

I can confirm that it is the default now. I installed a PI4 yesterday (ordered it right after release). I installed Raspberry Pi OS on an sd card first. When I tried to update eeprom, it was already up to date. After flashing the RPI OS image on an ssd, it worked perfectly fine. I did not have to touch a command line to make it boot from ssd.
