I think on laptops there was a hardware TPM chip or in other cases a hypervisor that enforced the secure boot, while the OS that was being loaded did not need to know anything about whether it was being loaded into a secure boot environment or not.

I still have a laptop that lets me set Secure Boot or not. Hopefully Kobo has allowed this, since they didn't seem to be against SideloadedMode? e.g, my chromebook has the option to run in Developer's mode, which allowed me to install MXLinux which was what made me choose to buy the device.


EDIT : Ahhh, this link says amazon was able to turn on secure boot over the air, if I understand correctly (probably not
