Some UEFI machines seem to boot from USB by default, without any prompting, probably assuming that a signed boot loader cannot cause any damage.
I got a different BIOS for the Lenovo M72e 0896A9G, which does not contain Secure Boot support, bot still boots from plugged-in USB sticks with an UEFI boot loader on them by default. So this is just a choice made by Lenovo in general, totally independent of Secure Boot support.
