Firmware upgrades don't need to use the same protocols. Without secure boot any applet can take a security hole escalate and persist until you take a trip to a zone of interest. With secure-boot+attestation, the vendors can choose not to let you download the latest map data, report you to the authorities, etc.

Why do people take DA as "Hail Satan" anyways.

As far as I'm concerned, you just conceded the argument.
