I don't think it's an issue like that. You can run windows without secure boot[1], and the windows boot loader can be chain loaded from whatever apple is using if they are not using a standard eufi firmware for whatever reason.
At the very least, booting windows is a relatively low effort problem to solve compared to everything else that has to happen to move a whole ecosystem to a new architecture. We can conclude its a low priority for Apple, if it's something they still want to support at all.

- oneplane 6y agoI don't think you can run Windows on ARM without UEFI and Secure Boot. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/bringup/uefi-requirements-that-apply-to-all-windows-platforms https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/br... Apple doesn't use UEFI on their ARM systems, so it'd be an extra effort indeed.
