[Bounty] SM-N975U1 Note 10+ (USA unlocked version) bootloader unlock and root method

So for example: how can you tell from this typical (on ebay) string the revision?

SMN975UZKAXAA

You need the build number not model number to determine bootloader compatibility.
As the link states. May be represented by a letter or number on the build number.
5th digit from the end represents the bootloader version. You can use the same or higher number but not lower to upgrade or rollback. In this case it's a "2".

This is not a model number this is csc thing
From build number you can figure out that 5th character from the right is bootloader version

If developer options have to be on, and the bootloader unlocked, to flash Odin files, BL AP ,CS, CSC, in their perspective order, bootloader, system, recovery, ...how come the bootloader cannot be changed or written in a way that the system/recovery file (AP) can be booted from an SDcard instead of the internal storage. Can the Pit file be written to in the partition as well, like a ,say, Windows PC can. They update the firmware in the CMOS from time to time on certain models??

They don't have to be on.

And it doesn't have to be unlocked.
