Research direction

Start by tracing how infrastructure.type=detect selects standard and where the deployment waits for MCO. Compare that path with infrastructure.type=ibm-roks, then define and verify generic behavior for a cluster where MCO is absent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yes, it is related to the installation into the hosted control plane cluster with OpenShift Virtualization where MCO is not present. infrastructure.type=detect(default) switches to -> standard which later on fails as it is waiting for MCO.

Describe the solution you'd like
A generic option to detect if the MCO is present might be nice.

Describe alternatives you've considered
To proceed with the installation, I set infrastructure.type=ibm-roks which works well.
