The DoomsDay scenario of the first machines that got out with "SecureBoot", in which they only had Microsoft keys and never allowed the user to change it, is less and less common. Today you have control over SecureBoot. You can disable it, you can reset it's keys, so it will sign whatever you have there and go from it and so on. That's not to say that some manufactures don't get it wrong. I think is very dangerous that microsoft gets to dictate how the manufactures should do their firmwares, but this is the world we're living on these days. At least now we have more people paying attention to what happens on our computers BEFORE any OS is loaded.
