I think that's untenable. My understanding is simply that the Windows 
logo/certification program for new hardware requires it be enabled. There's a 
TON of UEFI hardware floating around that does not conform to UEFI 2.3.1 and do 
not have Secure Boot. I doubt all of these firmwares must be updated to support 
Secure Boot for people to migrate to Windows 8.

And also Windows 8 is installable on BIOS hardware too, which totally lacks 
Secure Boot.
