I believe the RPi can boot directly from the network, but it does require a one-time config change that requires booting from the SD card once. After that, the SD card isn’t required for future reboots.

(Or actually even supported, IIRC)

I don't think the Pi 4 supports netboot yet[1].

I should have mentioned that this was currently only for the 3.

Hopefully that will get fixed soon.
