Microsoft is in an impossible position here. Signed kernels are the only way to prevent rootkits. If they don't move in this direction people will complain about insecurity. If they do we get complaints about locking down the platform.

How about letting the owner uploading keys combined with a hardware switch to enable that?

Yeah, seems like there ought to be some way to do it securely if you have access to the hardware.
