> Bios is wonderful because it's limited; Nobody wants to try shoving more functionality into it. No system management, no drivers, nothing.

Haha oh if only. I've probably worked around more UEFI bugs than any other single individual, and I've still had to deal with more non-UEFI BIOS bugs in my life. BIOS provides no kind of standardised interface to the OS, and so every vendor built their own and every vendor fucked up at some point. UEFI means there's much more shared code than before, and we're definitely benefiting from that.
