In your video /dev/nvme3n1 has no partitions, it's just pure file system on the
whole disk.

Flags are metadata inside the partition table. In MBR partition table there is
a single byte that specifies whether partition has boot flag or not. In GPT
partition table, instead of a byte you have UUID, e.g. bootable ESP partition
has uuid=C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B and on legacy BIOS systems you
set 21686148-6449-6E6F-744E-656564454649. These two values are modelled by boot
and bios-grub flags in the dialog. However, as I've said they are a property of
partition table. You don't have partition table on /dev/nvme3n1 so no flags are
shown there at all, independently of whether file system is mounted or not.

For /dev/nvme2n1p1 (note p1 at the end) you can see flags and you can edit them
when file system is not mounted.
