So succinctly translating for FOSS folks: imagine if Coreboot/uBoot updates were integrated into the normal default package manager repositories.

Not exactly coreboot/uBoot, but it already is:

https://fwupd.org/

https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd

It's integrated into recent distros, seamlessly shipping firmwares for supported vendors (Dell came first, HP arrived soon after, and I think I read Lenovo was being worked on) like this MS project does, or Apple has been doing for years.

On a Surface device (and maybe some others?) you can get firmware (UEFI) updates via Windows Update.
