I think the makebootable thing is just a left over from people that got used to manually building and installing to a partition or who read those guides.
Haiku probably could detect a blank MBR as in the case of a fresh VM image or disk and just do the right thing… but yeah overwriting an existing one would be bad.
It already does. If you tell it to write an intel partition map in drivesetup.
The only case where it is not automatic is if you use an existing partition map.
