As near as I can tell, secure boot is limited to making sure your kernel hasn't been tampered with.
I know boot sector viruses were common back in the 80s when everybody had to stick floppy disks in drives that happened also to be the default boot device, but is this really a problem nowadays?
So it seems to be addressing a threat that doesn't actually exist.
