Except that this is trivially circumvented by the Blue Pill attack, which was already well known when "Secure" Boot was designed. So all security it provides is illusionary. All it does it making it a PITA to evade the default-on restrictions of your freedom on x86 and allowing the same company to implement their hard restrictions on ARM. And Red Hat is even paying money to the signature cartel to support their evil scheme!
