I can see how Secure boot solves real security problems. And I am definitely not blaming Ubuntu here.

However, it’s unfortunate that the Secure Boot technology (or maybe this is a licensing thing) by default does not make prescriptions, and that we’re reliant on the device manufacturer’s good will to see it implemented correctly.

How could a technology itself make prescriptions about the ways that the manufacturer lets you configure it?
Through licensing and/or certification requirements. Large companies take compliance serious.
