Citation for what? The existence of bootkits? Petya/NotPetya, Alureon, Carberp/Rovnix, Gapz, LoJax (firmware rootkit!). All of these attacks would be thwarted by SB (and in Petya's case, simply having UEFI enabled at all, since that was only for BIOS machines)

No. The existence of actually dangerous bootkits in relation to ease of use of UEFI, ease of prevention, likelihood and magnitude of harm of said bootkits and adverse secondary problems when UEFI is used.
