Resolution Note:
PrefabUtility lives in UnityEditor, which means it's editor only and will not exist in standalone. Such concept of prefab does not exist in standalone or player.. it's just a gameobject. When entering playmode, all prefabs in scene are unpacked into regular gameobjects, that's why there are no overrides.
