Hi Heinrich, A fair question indeed, as the HII protocols do not seem to be used that much in practice. The UEFI Shell seems to be using them, though, which should be a sufficient reason to support them, I think. Those protocols are used as well a little in systemd-boot and iPXE for example, but as far as I can tell, they are not used at all in Shim, GRUB, Linux, Xen, the BSDs or Android GBL.
