Secure Boot only acts on UEFI executables, initramfs is an additional file loaded as part of the kernel cmdline. As such, UEFI is not aware of the initramfs file during boot, so using Secure Boot/`sbctl` as is would leave our initramfs unsigned/unverified (and thus exploitable).

To avoid that, we need to use a [Unified Kernel Image (or UKI)](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image), which includes both the kernel and the initramfs in a single file, and sign that file with `sbctl` instead.
Additionally it allows to have simpler `/boot` partition (and a simpler boot chain overall), as systemd-boot [automatically look for those UKI files at boot](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_kernel_image#systemd-boot) (meaning you don't need any additional systemd-boot config/entries).
