UEFI is a standard, not a product. You could make your own even
https://libreboot.org/
Or use this…
Tianocore open source uefi implementation exist for many years
This doesn't support many boards.
True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)
could in the same sense that i could check all software i use for bugs and malicious code. realistically, i can't, because it's way too much work.
But you could work together with other people, and you could be many people that each checked his/her part for malicious code.
So that just means UBIOS is explicitly for spying since UEFI is open source and a standard right?
