That is just untrue.  SecureBoot can be used to make sure you only run
the software you intended to run, which is impossible without
SecureBoot (e.g. this cannot be done with a TPM).  The idea is solid,
the technology is or can be made solid.

The preloading of default keys are something of a pain, but some
capable people _solved_ that problem for x86.
