You do not understand how secure boot works. As a developer, I pick my own keys to use for signing on my devices. I do not trust Microsoft, but that’s moot: they have nothing to do with my use of secure boot. Source: I an a senior embedded engineer that has implemented secure boot for paying customers, across multiple devices and processor architectures.
That said, I despise vendors that lock down their devices using secure boot. This is unquestionably hostile behavior toward consumers, as the protection from malware usually also prevents user modification.
I wish there was a way to force disclosure of this anti-feature, as I actively avoid buying products that do not allow me to load my own keys and images.
