It's Apple's bootloader. They were the ones that chose to use iBoot and not implement UEFI-style booting like prior Macs.

It's Apple's bootloader. They were the ones that chose to use iBoot and not implement UEFI-style booting like prior Macs.
...why would they, this is a strict improvement with less surface area
Because it was a featureset they supported without trouble on prior Macs?
The onus is on Apple to not make iBoot suck, they don't get a free pass for Microsoft-level boot volume ignorance.
The 'onus' is on Apple to support an OS they never said they'd support, to the potential detriment of the one they do support, because a tiny number of people bought Apple hardware to run...lemme look again...an OS Apple never said they'd support? That's an...interesting...point of view, but probably not suprising considering the pervasive "how dare you not do unpaid work to make me happy no matter what your priorities are" attitude running around OSS these days. At least Apple won't rage-quit the project or have a nervous breakdown because the free-riders are demanding something never promised.
