you are right but is not UEFI a standard and it shouldn't work the

The great thing about standards is there's so many to choose from!  Also
relevant: https://xkcd.com/927/

UEFI has gone through a number of revisions over the years, and has
optional bits like Secure Boot (which itself has gone through
revisions).  Almost any set of standards has undefined corners where
vendors interpret things differently.  Vendors also have bugs in weird
places sometimes.

I go with the lines from Pirates of the Carribean movie.. it is less
of a rigid code and more a set of guidelines. Computer programmers are
a surly lot, and most take any MUST/SHALL in a standard a personal
challenge on how to make it pass a test but do so in an interesting
way.
