Keys were labeled "DO NOT TRUST." Nearly 500 device models use them anyway.

            I just don’t bother with secure boot as its not in my threat model. I turn it off

          Well of course, thats the setup. Disabling secure boot. If it didn’t stop you from booting a third party OS without you toggling that BIOS option, then the security feature would be pointless.
