Or, worse, run any unsupported linux as long as it contains systemd, so no *bsd, etc, and also no manufacturer support?

    Not all. The ones that ship Linux preinstalled and with support don't.

      I hope you are mistaken. It's embarrassing how far behind in security the desktop Linux ecosystem is.

        Agreed in general. But regarding secure boot, it's not like shim actually helps with real security either afaiu, right?

        I believe you are confusing security with freedom and "behind" with "advanced".

        They have a TPM that you can enable and add your own keys if you want to.

      Do you really think Laptop makers would buy a whole company to figure out how to remove that option?

If they wanted to do that, they already would have. Do you think laptop makers need this technology to limit user freedom this way?
