One thing I wish is that more of them would feature UEFI instead of BIOS, or at least come with a warning, as Intel plans to drop support for legacy BIOS in 2020.
The more people keep using BIOS, the more likely it will stay around. IMHO UEFI is a bloated mess compared to BIOS, so I very much hope the latter will continue to live.

I have my own ideas on why UEFI sucks, mainly around utf-16 and such, but I wouldn't really consider it bloated compared with some BIOS implementations. What is your objection to it?
