Giving people the opportunity to put less trust in centralized third parties is not "UX regression".
When a commercial HWW verifies firmware/software at power-on, users are trusting they're using authentic hardware, and they're outsourcing the verification process to the same entity that produces both the hardware and the software.
For many users these choices will make sense, but for some they won't -- it's good for people to have options to choose from.
