yeah, I just realized, duh, secureboot on a VM is not an issue at all, so never mind all that.
It is an issue. Hyper V gen 2 has supported UEFI with Secure Boot enabled by default for a few years.
I do think the whole secureboot thing is a bad idea on a general purpose computer system, seems like an attempt at creating product lock in and turning the x86 PC into an appliance, which it really isn't.
It's precisely general purpose computers that are most susceptible to what Secure Boot prevents. What the alternative?
