who said that?

there is a big enough market with customers which will
make the pressure to the manufacturers to produce
recent hardware where you can urn off secure boot

do you really think vendors like HP would be stoopid enough
to ignore their business customers? and yes the business
machines have much better quality and are not too expensive
or in many cases cheaper than the customer-crap most people
buy

a year ago with the SPECS below: 1600 €

it is the choice of the customer buy cheapest crap and pray
your OS will run fine or buy good hardware and that will not change

these days you can have this machine even with a HP branded
debian setup pre-installed
