I think a relevant distinction here is that if someone wants to still
do u-boot, they should strongly consider using a version new enough to
implement EBBR interfaces such as UEFI services. On price-sensitive
devices where you want to optimize flash BOM cost, skipping Tianocore
*can* have cost impact, but if the interfaces are kept compatible that
should be just fine.

As always, if the SoC vendor provides a reference implementation for
their platforms such that doing the right thing is also doing the
easiest thing when making a derivative product design, everybody wins.
