"There are NOT that many BIOS vendors and there are NOT that many different BIOS interfaces."

It's different for pretty much every laptop vendor, and often within different ranges from the same vendor.

"People need to mess with their BIOS ANYWAY to boot from a CD or USB stick!"

This is typically untrue (there's a separate interface for choosing a one-off boot device), and entirely untrue with UEFI.
