UEFI is a really unfortunate second system with all the markings of Intel's internal cultural issues imbued onto it that are hard to not see if you've worked with intel for any length of time. In the common case of an end user running an operating system, it's really hard to botch that without being kicked out of the market in ways that can't be worked around so it wont matter to most computer users. But UEFI is only a minor improvement over BIOS versus other industry standards for the people that could reap the benefits of an open and extensible bootloader in embedded, appliances, and hyperscale -- device manufacturers and operating system developers.
