I can see disabling it being made impossible in the future. Hopefully,
after that's done, we'll still be able to add/remove keys unlike on
ARM.

If web browsers have or gain the ability to show that secure boot's
enabled, I can also see banks, for example, requiring secure boot in
the future for logging to an account (with MS marketing and PR
help!)...
