Last time I installed Arch, I put Secure Boot in setup mode and enrolled by own keys. The idea of using someone else's keys seems absurd.

I've honestly always kept secure boot off on my machines (which also use Arch). I don't really feel like the level of threat from someone (or me, by accident) booting an image I don't want them to on my hardware is particularly worth the hassle it brings; nobody else should ever be using my machines in the first place, and if they are, I'm going to have larger issues than what OS they decide to try to boot.
