The firmware is just that: A firmware.
It's like when you buy a modern PC with no operating system installed. The UEFI firmware will boot and, if it can't find any OS installed, it may fallback to trying to boot from the network through PXE, in case you have a PXE image server.
The RPI4 UEFI firmware behaves the same. It expects that you will have taken the steps to install an OS, or provide the botable files required for OS installation. But it does not provide the OS for you. Just like when you buy a bare PC, it does not provide the OS for you, just the UEFI components that allow you to install the OS.
For instance, if you wanted to install Linux Debian in UEFI mode using the UEFI firmware, you could follow this guide, which, you will see, requires providing the OS installation files alongside the bare UEFI firmware.
