So what do you want exactly? For hardware to ship with signatures for every known variant of Linux, BSD, QNX, RedoxOS, Solaris, and OS/2 Warp? I'm honestly asking: what is the alternative you're proposing?

If you're just saying "it's not easy enough", well, that's a matter of opinion.

What I am describing above is just the current method. The one which is currently implemented in most x86 UEFI hardware save for apparently this one Lenovo laptop and some other "miscarriaged" hardware.

You do not even need to imagine "what I am proposing" because I am not proposing anything whatsoever: the MS UEFI CA signs non-MS operating systems.

MS just needs to not relent on its promises.
