I hate it when news outlets assume readers don't know what they are talking about and use analogies like "UEFI BIOS Alternative" without mentioning the actual thing on the title ("Coreboot").

Especially when it's flat out wrong. Coreboot is low level init code that launches a payload. Which can be TianoCore EDK2 or SeaBIOS.
This isn't a bad thing. I had no idea what coreboot was and wouldn't have clicked on the link. They're appealing to a broader audience without being clickbaity.

How about don’t know what they’re writing about?

I sure as hell have never heard about “Windows UEFI” before.
