I'm not worried about this at all. It just says that Microsoft *might not require* the option to allow users to disable. I don't think any OEMs are going to love the marketing benefits of mandatory SecureBoot more than they like the business of their large customers that don't want it for $reasons, and they aren't going to be producing different hardware for retail and OEM because it just doesn't make business sense to do that. Also, we have shim.
Differential pricing, if a menu option can be disabled it can be monetized.
