It's not the most accurate analogy, but the point is that UEFI puts a lock on the boot process, which is itself arguably a good thing, but then Microsoft and others are trying to control the keys that rightfully belong to the owner of the hardware. Or more simply, locks are not bad per se, but if you aren't allowed to have the key to a lock that you supposedly own, then that's bad.
