It costs the ability to flash your own firmware.
The only time I have an issue with it if there’s no way to make your own signed package or bypass the requirement.

These checks are usually at the application level, so flashing via telnet/SSH still works. It’s generally not like TPM where the boot will be blocked if the signature doesn’t match, and in many cases, systems with those protections have a way to set your own keys (e.g. like with GrapheneOS on Pixel phones).
