What is the current state of bootloaders for ARM?

  Messy

  Abysmal. If these devices were UEFI, this discussion wouldn't exist.

    This right here. As much as I would love to see more faster and powerful ARM processors come to laptops and desktops in the future, I dread the current ARM bootloader situation coming along with it.

    It's my understanding that Tow-Boot implements UEFI

  Depends which device tbh. If the device has the "ARM System Ready" certification it will run most linux distros just by using an arm build, similar to amd64. Tianocore/EDK2 also supports many devices and adds a BIOS/UEFI that is similar to the BIOS you'd see on your typical amd64 mainboard.
