Not Likely

I want to live in the world you live in. Rose colored glasses a fairy dust. ;)
Microsoft works very closely with hardware suppliers to optimize a given platform to work with their OS. Remember, they are pretty much giving Win10 away to vendors for free just to get bodies looking at their screens.
Take the HP Stream or any of the other plethora of 2-300 laptops. Do you think MS is making a cent off of any of these things for the OS? No. They give it away in hopes of luring consumers to their app store, which does quite well surprisingly.
With that in mind, I'm sure there is a lot of unwritten encouragement to make it difficult for these machines, or any other for that matter, to be able to boot an alternative OS.
