EFI is one of the inventions of M$ to keep free software out. But
since this is illegal, they are forced to sign the Linux bootloaders to
allow them to start, hence, AFAIU the concept of a shim. Now signatures
are going everywhere to make M$ happy, even down to the kernel, and all
this becomes entangled in a way that's more and more difficult to handle
and even understand for the bare human. That way only the big distros
will be able to provide a bootable OS and the poor DIY guy will be
definitely disgusted. This EFI thingy will in no way improve the
security. It is a pure fallacy.
We can survive as long as the BIOS allows non-EFI boot. I hope they
will be forced by law to keep this option.
