I don't know whether to think this is awesome, or a horrifying demonstration of bloat in UEFI.

I don't think this really demonstrates UEFI bloat. A tcp/ip stack from boot services is handy and useful for 'legitimate' network booting, not really bloat IMHO; pxe and undi is similar in a bios environment but ddoesn't necessarily come from the motherboard firmware. Access to input devices, such as keyboard and mouse is reasonable too. Graphical output seems reasonable too.

And then everything else is stuff the author did or linked in. Where's the firmeware bloat?

Sit back and relax. Make this project more popular. People will decide for themselves.

You are right and it is already going your way, even if you are not seeing it yet.
