Unless you're doing some kind(s) of disk encryption.  Which apparently is
a thing that some laptop users go for in a major way.

As a non-laptop person, my understanding is that, at least with some
implementations of disk encryption, you need an UN-encrypted /boot to
get the whole thing started.  After that, the root file system and any
other local file systems can be encrypted, and the code from /boot will
be able to prompt you for the passphrase or whatever.
