I completely agree with you on UEFI - PC vendors mostly have really done the right thing vis-a-vis Secure Booting Windows with MS keys and Linux with custom MOKs. Keep in mind anything Intel does with their CPUs and GPUs has historically been Linux compatible for the most part - that's just the way the market has been. So it is not far fetched to assume whatever MS is doing with Pluton would at the very least not prevent Linux or BSDs from booting on x86 hardware. And with the Microsoft of today they might even release the specs - after all there is talk about Pluton being used in Azure - and Linux/BSDs can benefit from it too.
