> If you use full disk encryption secure boot is pretty essential, otherwise an attacker can modify the code that asks for your credentials to also log them somewhere easily accessible.
In what threat model? If the attacker has access to your PC they can just as well install a physical keylogger intercepting the signals from the keyboard.
The main use case for disk encryption is preventing data loss when the device is stolen. That's a realistic threat that people face, not boogeyment coming into your house and replacing your bootloader with a malicious one.
