"hot-swapping" on artix

This is a small question I have after I accidentally unplugged my SSD which had all my partitions on it while my system was running. I had to boot from a live CD, chroot, and reinnstall grub because the bootloader was gone and I would constantly boot into BIOS.

Is this damaging to my system at all? Why does "hot-swapping" (not really hot-swapping) delete the bootloader?

Hello,

On a UEFI machine, I had the same problem recently.

Machine stopped, I removed the system disk to try to boot on a disk containing Windos7.
Since W7 wouldn't boot, I put my usual system disk back on.

Result: no more GRUB booting

I booted from an Artix Live and I used the "Detect bootable partitions" option.
There I was able to boot on my usual system and run sudo update-grub.

I guess UEFi firmware "helps" us (like systemd sometimes) ...

Either buggy implementations of the UEFI specification or flawed UEFI specifications, hehe. I still switch to BIOS instead wherever I've got a choice.
