that's a pretty myopic view of coreboot and its users; coreboot supports 2 different UEFI payloads, which are used by both individual and commercial entities.
It is nice to hear there are possible alternatives ; to be honest I don't know about their "marketshare" amoung the coreboot users. From my point of view as a user (reading mailing lists etc.) it seemed like the majority of coreboot users are using SeaBIOS and the majority of libreboot users are using GRUB. Although, its' quite likely that at the same time the majority of ChromeBook+coreboot users are really running UEFI payload, thanks to your customized coreboot builds where you are using it (learned about your work after a quick search)
P.S. sorry it seems I bumped an old thread and now I feel guilty

Thank you for the info! However we are not affected thanks to coreboot's default payload being SeaBIOS. If anything, these "uefi rootkit" news could be used to promote the coreboot(+SeaBIOS) project to wider audiences
