because eventually the stuff you'll get is "motherboard CMOS setup with smtp client that can read your NTFS drives and email your files to someone" and that eventually will be in 2018

That sounds like a very bad idea, albeit network boot is something usually deliberately enabled and managed by someone who Knows What They're Doing, like grandpa wouldn't even be able to figure out how to turn it on.

it does this automatically if the bootloader is corrupted and connects to a chinese DNS/IP with no obvious connection to Lenovo.

(after some in-depth auditing, we came to the conclusion that vtt11 is either a very well disguised and privileged malware/APT op, or it's a Lenovo office/business/development unit/group)

in case you are interested in a good "connect it to the web" idea for UEFI, my AsRock AB350M Pro4 board had a "update the bios via the web" feature in early versions of the bios wich later got removed for size reasons
it would connect to the internet via the ethernet port and then download the latest bios from the manufacturer and then flash it
it was phenomenal and i wish it stuck around longer
