If that was who was pushing it, why would the summary say:

When we said we wanted ARM platforms to support a standard for booting, we didn't mean like that.
I think the real headline here is "we boot with UEFI" and not the specific EFI binary they chose. If systemd-boot runs without a ton of patches, it's likely that grub-efi and the EFI kernel stub will run too. As far as "arm supports a standard for booting", this is good news.

In my experience, there are *still* plenty of people writing software professionally who have no business doing so (because of lack of interest and talent). I don't think we're losing out on many talented programmers, because even post-AI the bar is still too low.

Are they really gonna cut the power to the AI that operates your car, essentially bricking it? How about your iPhone/Android? How about the entire $5k surveillance system monitoring your house using entirely AI?
Yes they are, just like Nest Thermostats, early kindles, Nintendo Wii and 3ds, etc. Stuff gets turned off externally all of the time
"Well, I just won't get one that has AI baked into it!" What if there isn't a choice?
