Another issue may have been over UEFI and signed kernels.

Windows is owned by Microsoft. If you don't like what they're doing, move to an alternative. There
are alternatives. You can't lambast a single company for x policy when jumping in bed with competing companies that also use x policy.
The Linux Kernel already has UEFI signing, and I'm sure some of the other alternatives already have workarounds.
This is like an author selling on Amazon but refusing to do so on BN because of their nonstandard DRM.
