Yeah I agree- firmware as a service doesn't exactly capture what Project Mu is trying to do. But the point is, firmware should be easy to update as any service rather than some huge monolithic codebase that was forked the master (TianoCore) and then hammered on until the platform booted.

In a perfect world a product would ship with perfect bug free and secure firmware and it would never need updates. And ideally, manufactures would allow for users to more easily install their own UEFI/firmware onto their device but that brings in some added challenges of security.

Since developers make mistakes, updates are currently the best solution we have. Making those updates more affordable to service, making the changes transparent to the end-users via OSS, and making it easier to apply those updates are all things Project Mu is trying to accomplish.
