It's just not true. It reads a bit like propaganda, but I think it wasn't meant like that. Whoever made that up probably had a specific Linux binary distribution in mind or something like that. If it were generally true, Chromebooks would have to implement UEFI, all the mobile and embedded devices running Linux would have to implement UEFI, and it would render LinuxBoot impossible. I don't see that happening; rather the opposite: I'm often reminded that server folks run away from EFI, for instance. There are a few who might actually need it. For instance if one is in the business of general purpose PCs where any OS should work. In this area one will always have to support legacy boot in one way or the other (BIOS/UEFI). Maybe who wrote that is in this particular business and "we" was referring to them and not the whole coreboot community.
