EFI volume doesn't appear in Finder #3

Using MountEFI.command 206ba46 on macOS Catalina 10.15.4...

I use the MountEFI.command, and the (USB drive's) EFI partition mounts as expected (see ls -al below). But that partition does not show up in the Finder. Is this expected? Thanks.

Same happened to me then I checked with clover configurator's "Mount EFI" section showed me that my EFI already mounted but it doesn't seem in finder then I clicked "Open Partition" button in GUI of Clover Configurator and it opened then I realised before that I tested corpnewt's MountEFI's "D. Pick Default Disk" and "L. Set as Default Layout(Current: ......)"

I think this happens because of this

but maybe developer can add "open EFI Folder" command in menu and solves this problem

I recognize this is an older issue - but there is the option to 3. Open EFI and Return to Menu in the M. After Mounting: ... option of the main menu which will open the resulting mount point if the volume was mounted successfully:
