It's not just secure boot. Modern OS have certificates all over the place. These are ticking self-destruct time bombs in those machines that the manufacturers of hardware based on these OS may not necessarily realize. I am thinking ATM machines, voting machines, medical equipment, smart-fridges and other IOT, probably many cars, etc.

Oh, they realize it just fine. To them it is just another source of revenue. Planned obsolescence is going to wipe out our digital heritage at some point.

I presume words like "Crowdstrike" or "Microsoft Update" don't say anything to you. /s
