DRM usually refers to mechanisms to digitaly manage rights of content, SecureBoot merely checks that a bootloader is signed by specific keys. Just ensuring people know what's what.


My point is that it's one and the same. You're making distinctions where there are none. Software which I run on my device is content, too. Denying me the right to change or modify that content is the very definition of DRM.
