Apple created a boot loader that allows the device owner to install and run an unsigned OS like Asahi Linux without degrading the system's security when you run MacOS.

Applying security per partition instead of per device gives users more control, and you no longer have to worry about Microsoft having control of the machine's signing keys.



I'm not versed into that part. Does it bring significant improvements (more secure or flexible ?) over UEFI secure boot ?


UEFI has a massively larger attack surface, and secure boot is either on or off for the whole machine.

So UEFI is both less secure and less flexible.
