It's a great idea, but I'd rather not have to purchase a new system to have a bios that isn't full of treachery. Installing coreboot post market involves jumpers and flashing bios and all manner of pain points that could go wrong. None of this should be so.

I’m not quite sure how you would make an easier method of changing the bios that didn’t open up the gateway to some very nasty malware.

That's what companies like StarLabs and System76 allow you to do though. I'd prefer if AMD natively shipped with Coreboot but that seems unlikely to happen unless we keep supporting those companies.
