Odie, the requirement when UEFI booting for a video card to support GOP is not an artificial restriction added by Intel. Intel does not control the UEFI standards, although they did design them, quite a while ago. GOP support in a video card's BIOS for UEFI booting is no secret, and the UEFI standards have existed for years. IMO, video card manufactures have simply ignored it. Now that users are actually doing UEFI booting, this situation has been "discovered".
