From the linked article, I'm left with the impression that this is only a problem for MSI (and a few other vendors) devices.

If Intel Boot Guard works by including a public key in a fuse in all CPUs from a set of series and now the corresponding private key is leaked, why isn't this a global problem? The same CPU with the same public key must be in every machine with an Intel CPU from these generations. What am I missing here?

Some HP business devices don't use Intel BootGuard, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35845073
