Debian still supports systems that are not compatible with UEFI, so 
yes, there's something technical that stands in the way.

There's nothing preventing you from using systemd-boot on Debian, and

box, but unfortunately this isn't currently possible.

2000s, I've never thought that mailing lists could be this awesome :D
