I don't know if anyone really had confidence in secure-boot but they sure shouldn't anymore.

Anyone aware of Intels lackluster security measures has already long lost faith in those.

They couldn't even make SGX work reliably, (i.e. do what it was supposed to do), and in that particular instance they most certainly cared about getting security right, because of licensing/contracts with the music and film industry association of America (MafIAA).

So yeah. I pretty much agree with you here.

The good thing about this is now a replacement opensource bios can be developed using clean-room techniques like Compaq did back in the early 80s.

Yeah, I’d love to see that happen.
