Not actually true, the stock ISO can make a Legacy, UEFI or hybrid USB, see here viewtopic.php?t=5487

I believe that Rufus has an option to burn it as an ISO hybrid.

You are correct about Rufus. If you look in Getting Started and System Requirements at this topic viewtopic.php?t=5192 you'll find an outline of hardware and the installers for each category. Rufus is my personal favorite, but only available for MS Win.
