    What is a typical real world application for tianocore/edk2? Like who is using this and where/why? Like is this for custom hardware projects, servers, hardware hackers, OEMs?

      All UEFI system firmware uses edk2. It’s not just the reference implementation; Pragmatically, it’s the only implementation. Independent BIOS vendors (IBVs) like AMI, Phoenix, and Insyde have built all their tooling for and around edk2. Companies like System76 and Purism use it as a UEFI payload for their coreboot based firmware.
