Am I not? How so? Currently, I have complete control over my boot process/firmware. Under secure boot I cede that control to someone else who decides what I will be allowed to do.

Even the ability to to add my own keys is just a feel-good item if I cannot remove/replace *all* other keys. Those other keys will still allow access whether I wish it or not.
