So in short, only attacks targetting the UEFI crap that would not have been possible with a read-only BIOS that doesn't try to provide operating system-like functions. When you see the Dell one which is able to download updates via https, no comments.

These examples just show that the most effective fix against all such problems is to refuse UEFI and revert back to BIOS instead.
