Phones most commonly use their own bootloader stack.

UEFI is pretty common on phones now, but it's unlikely that any of them are running this network stack there.

Is it? I'd like a UEFI phone booting GNU/Linux but last I looked it was a bunch of hacky aftermarket firmwares.

It being UEFI doesn't mean it's a standard platform, there's no ACPI and you're going to need a custom kernel that targets that specific device. UEFI alone isn't enough to support booting a generic OS.
And thanks! Updated my profile.

Exactly. No phones have PXE boot enabled, regardless of the rest.
