Absolutely not — the skill level needed to tamper with a bashrc, pull credentials + keys, or generally hunt for sensitive info on an unencrypted disk is worlds apart from the skill level needed to modify an EFI binary.

security isn't real, just increasing deterrence for attackers.

if you can access something, they can access it, it's just a matter of effort needed to get there.
