It wasn't just FUD. Microsoft has changed their tune on this over the years, but it used to be that their certification requirements mandated that users could not disable secure boot on ARM devices: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/01/microsoft-mandating-secure-boot-on-arm-making-linux-installs-difficult/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/01/micro...
If that were still their policy today, it would make projects like this nearly impossible.
