Yes but, a vendor could just as easily cherry-pick the spin-table enabling lk2nd patches back to their lk implementation and begin to drop the ongoing burden of supporting the LPM stuff.

We certainly do and should support booting stock lk. There's no sense in setting the bar to upstream even higher by imposing a chainloaded bootloader on our hypothetical new user.

The right thing to do is to enable the vanilla path but, give the user the extra option.
