I'm sure it would, but I thought I made it clear that DL or BluRay have never been options in this case. I'm disappointed that the DVD iso was released without any release notes advising it was oversized
The size issue with single-layer media has been a known issue since the CentOS-6 days and the release notes very much do mention it, or at least they did at one point.
It's not realistic to expect server-class machines not to be able to boot from dual-layer or USB media in 2021.
Or really any "PC". My 2009 vintage desktop "PC" motherboard can boot from USB. It has the original BIOS.
To add to that: it would be unreasonable to expect from “binary replica” distribution to compose DVDs (or CDs) differently from upstream vendor. Therefore, media size may end up larger than limit.
