Platform Verification Bricks Security Tools

When platform vendors revoke or refuse verification for an open‑source project's developer or organization account, the project can lose the ability to sign drivers or bootloaders and thus be unable to deliver updates to the majority platform users. The result is not just inconvenience: it creates a supply‑chain single point of failure for security software and gives vendors de facto removal power without transparent appeals. — This matters because platform-controlled verification becomes a vector for supply‑chain disruption, censorship of security tools, and concentrated risk to millions of users relying on vendor ecosystems for secure updates.
