Locked to bootloaders signed with the Microsoft key, not _necessarily_ to
Windows, right?

So then basically there's no REAL way to get a "modern" PC / laptop WITHOUT this UEFI on it? Right? And the only way to be able to iunstall/boot another OS would be to turn the UEFI off....but without the proper key....that is impossible? Just trying to understand what this means when it's time for me to upgrade my laptop....would like to know that I can install the latest version of Fedora without any problems or issues hardware-wise.
