I mean why not just put Unreal Engine in the boot loader.

Perhaps a little later in the boot process perhaps?

Its likely possible. After all, the unreal engine does have at least some rudimentary 3d graphics support.

unreal engine is more than just rendering. Like QT, it's a cross platform application toolkit. There's no reason you couldn't port the underlying platform (which is reasonably well abstracted) to something lower level
