I hope the regulations being discussed right now[1] pass and we can just call SecureBoot what it is instead of fearing what it might become (atleast on x86).

That's why I consider alternative ecosystems (that don't have exorbitant prices) like RISC-V and Raspberry Pi to be critical to the survival of general-purpose computing. Once your ability to run on bare metal disappears (via Secure Boot or otherwise), you're in grave danger of simply not having physical hardware to convert new users.
