Potential insecurely-built IBM system firmware security aside, I don't think Libreboot nor SeaBIOS offers much in terms of security to stop attackers, as well.
building your own BIOS images, signing your own bootstraps, is "not offer much"? you're wrong and these are incredibly useful security measures. of course by no means sufficient by themselves, and you must always keep your laptops/devices safe with you, lest they be implanted by trivial means with physical access. best regards,
