This seems very dangerous indeed. But ARM is an important platform for phones and possibly some other mobile devices to run on. Google will very likely do something against it, it can't be in their interest to loose the battle for mobile devices so soon.

Even if secure boot on ARM hardware will be implemented in that ridiculous way, Google will have to be able to get the keys or something to make Android work. If Android will be bootable even with Secure Boot, distros that run with Linux might be too someday.

The best solution to this whole mess would ditch Secure Boot entirely, but unfortunately it doesn't look like it's going to happen...
