> Microsoft has not explained the reason, but it likely has to do with hundreds of vulnerable bootloaders that remain in use today. If those signed binaries are revoked, millions of devices will no longer work.

I still don't use secure boot. I don't see the maid problem as a serious threat. Not the only way to get an UEFI or bios rootkit, but still.

I do think a third party putting my OS on a revocation list is a threat though.
