It's to serve the regulators. The Radio Equipment Directive essentially requires the use of secure boot fir new devices.

I happen to like knowing that my mobile device did not have a ring 0 backdoor installed before it left the factory in Asia. SecureBoot gives me that confidence.

  • No it doesn't? The factory programs in the secure boot public keys

    • The public keys are provided by the developer. Google, or Apple, for example. It's how they know that nothing was tampered with before it left the factory.
