I think it's part of their philosophy. They don't want to encourage people to use a non-free operating system. edit: also, supporting windows is a lot of additional work

As far as i understood there weren't any "fake" pods, the third-party pods where properly labeled. Also, some might consider it a negative impact on the user experience if they cannot use third-party pods any longer, or if th

I think he meant there is nothing good about complexity and bringing down the whole system on a crash. For the Linux kernel this is probably an unfortunate necessity, for an init system it is not.

Since his comments seem to be broken (or he just does not accept any) i will comment here: I believe it is very well possible (using the UEFI IP stack) to write a tiny and portable BIOS malware that loads hardware and OS probing code, files
