Because AFAIK Device Guard sets limitations to what WPBT can do. Not to mention it's likely that additional kernel and boot integrity helps against all types of malware.

Superfish was never shipped with WPBT (it was preinstalled), so please do make explicit which malware you are referring to.
> [Device Guard] does prevent quite a few different malware preinstallation methods. Including the infamous Lenovo one.
Which is the infamous Lenovo malware "preinstallation method" ?
How would a signature system would have prevented malware that was literally signed by Lenovo _and_ MS from being preinstalled on a Lenovo OEM image shipped with Lenovo hardware ?
