Does Apple's firmware support Secure Boot? I've always heard of it in connection with Windows 8+. If they support it, is it enabled by default? If either answer is "no", it seems like the Option ROM vuln is pretty severe for Macs.

It's neither enabled, nor supported on Apple machines. Apple's not using UEFI, they're using their own fork of EFI 1.10
