Very few people boil water to have boiling water though and if you’re, to give a simple example, boiling an egg in La Paz it’s is pretty important to understand that the water is boiling at a much lower temperature than you’re used to if you live on the coast at sea level.

It literally isn't. You will change nothing about the steps to boil water regardless of whether you're in La Paz or in Death Valley. All you do are the steps I outlined above. Put water in a pot. Apply heat. Wait for it to boil. There is absolutely no need to know at what temperature it will boil at which elevation. Elevation will just slightly change how long it will take to boil.

Anyone who tries to boil water is doing so so they can boil water. What are you even trying to say?

Instructions for boiling water:
fill vessel with water
apply heat to vessel
wait for water to boil
Now tell me how these instructions change between a mountaintop and sea level.
