But as far as I know UEFI secure boot only needs to be activated and must not be deactivated, if ARM computers are shipped with Windoze, because this is only written in an M$ policy and not in a law. So principally it shouldn't be a problem for hardware manufacturers to assemble ARM computers without UEFI secure boot or with a UEFI secure boot which can be disabled, if they either preinstall Linux, Android or just ship it without Windoze resp. any OS. If there will be such hardware manufacturers is another question. But I'm not too pessimistic if I think of the Raspberry Pi e.g. Heiko
