Secure Boot is closed and not auditable.

Not so, the reference implementation is open source and incorporated into Coreboot, for a long time now.

The reference implementation is not the same as knowing which code runs on "your" hardware and having all keys from "your" hardware. If you are protected by a steel door but you don't have the keys, you are not safe, you are imprisoned.
