Here are technical details.

Nonfree software does not make your computer secure — it does the opposite: it prevents you from trying to secure it. UEFI is a nonfree program required for booting which is impossible to replace: in effect, a low-level rootkit. All the things that Intel has done to make its power over you secure against you also protect UEFI-level rootkits against you.

Think of this as right-to-repair at the initialization stage.
