I’d been saying BIOS for decades before UEFI became the norm. Yes, I know it’s no longer BIOS. No, I don’t care. As far as I am concerned, anyone pedantic enough to nitpick about it is doing me a favor. They are identifying themselves as someone I don’t want to be around.
When it does matter, my pronunciation is “you-fee”
For a while, they really were both. From that same UI, you choose for it to function as a legacy BIOS or a modern UEFI, and not just a CSM option. It probably ran UEFI underneath, but it’s not something that’s a clear cutover. This was around 1st Gen Intel Core, and might’ve been limited to Intel motherboards.
