Reverse as well.

A program that has been tested and developed with lockdown enabled might go a different code path when something works when lockdown is not enabled.

So developers do need to be able to test with lockdown on and off.

So able to enabled on non secureboot platforms and disable on secureboot platforms are development features for developers.
