If every distro switched this might be the case, but it's unlikely if only Fedora does it. However big things which might make this happen would be Windows 11 and RHEL 10, although one is not very relevant on cloud and the other is some years in the future.

Well it all starts with one distribution taking the lead, usually it's Arch these days but Fedora is better positioned to take the lead for this particular change.

That said why should UEFI miracles start happening when RHEL 10 get's released?

One could argue that arch supports neither firmware standard, since they don't have an installer. At best they just package bootloaders.
