Red Hat probably doesn't care because most server users are not using UEFI yet.
That statement is false. UEFI is absolutely important to server users.
That proportion goes down a lot as people transition from on
premises to AWS. So this doesn't hurt their partnership with NVIDIA where they tacitly encourage proprietary kernel module usage at scale.
Since KVM in RHEL doesn't support UEFI properly either, nobody is seriously looking at the issues caused by multiplexing NVIDIA GPUs and exposing them into virtual machines running in UEFI Secure Boot, because this just doesn't happen there. I've tried it on my Fedora systems, they don't work.
KVM in RHEL does support UEFI. That's not the say it everything is bug-free, but it is supported as it is clearly the direction the industry is going and new security features in particular increasingly rely on UEFI.
