I'm not a developer, so I won't offer an answer as to why support is "lacking", but I suspect it has something to do with UEFI being a metric fuckton of bullshit.
That said, I'm willing to bet if you disable secure boot, it'll act differently than what it is now. And, depending on what distro of Linux you installed, it may support UEFI (and hence the "BIOS boot" of Linux may not have been with UEFI disabled).
