In terms of physical x86 systems, you are right that UEFI is the overwhelming majority. But as stated elsewhere in this thread, a lot of cloud providers and virtualization software default to using BIOS.

Hopefully Daniel's response of the poor state those tools are in, will raise some red flags within Red Hat in which it starts throwing some resources ( money,workforce) to have this addressed before RHEL 9 gets released.
Atleast that is what I would do if I was a person in power within Red Hat ( or a company that provides or relies on a solution based on those tools) and had read his response which described quite the "alarming situation" for products within the company in relation where the industry is heading.
