The culprit isn't UEFI, it's ACPI. That mess predates UEFI. Most operating systems don't really try to use UEFI features beyond the ability to manipulate the bootloader settings, and that feature is almost always correctly implemented. But it's impossible to find a consumer system with bug-free ACPI tables.
