Since Microsoft are the owners of the copyright to Windows they are free to apply restrictions to the use of that work on customer's systems. Nobody ever guaranteed anyone the freedom to use and modify another's copyrighted material without the owner's consent. If their users do not like it they can opt out by switching to a different OS. It would be very different if the Win8 logo requirements required it to be impossible to disable secure boot or to enrol 3rd party keys but that is not now the case. > Try user-modifying a previously approved installation and see if > you, the user, can boot it. If it's not Windows just re-sign, enroll your key and boot. Or turn it off.
