Since Hybris version 4, it is possible to use primitive Java types instead of the related wrapper classes e.g. boolean instead of java.lang.Boolean. The advantage of doing so is that the attribute definition gets a default value automatically. This removes the need for handling null values.

Thus, you can change the following definition

<attribute qualifier="myAttribute" type="java.lang.Boolean">
    <modifiers read="true" write="true" initial="true" optional="false"/>
    <persistence type="property"/>
</attribute>

into

<attribute qualifier="myAttribute" type="boolean">
    <modifiers read="true" write="true" initial="true" optional="false"/>
    <persistence type="property"/>
</attribute>

and perform the system update to make the change effective.
