This seems to be the biggest issue - hardware locked into requiring Windows to be up to date.

MS can of course ship firmware that's independent of the OS, but knowing MS - they probably won't.

It sounds like they're using UEFI capsule updates for the firmware, so it'll actually be easy to perform the updates under other operating systems - Microsoft just won't have any mechanism to compel you to do so.

The "mechanism to compel you to do so" will be in the form of remote attestation, as some of the other comments here have mentioned.
