Can't everyday people use CentOS Stream?

CentOS stream isn't stable, it's a rolling distro. That's like asking "why can't people running RHEL go to Arch Linux or OpenSuSE TumbleWeed?"

Oh come on, the idea that CentOS stream is on par with arch, tumbleweed, and fedora is ludicrous.

Either you don't understand what CentOS stream is, or you're being ridiculously hyperbolic.

Since Arch doesn't have anything signed you can't even load the LiveISO without disabling secure boot, but what I was able to do was to sign everything myself + have the MS secure boot keys (or whatever they are called). This would allow me to dual boot with Win + Linux both using secure boot, which is nice to know for a certain game that insist on an overly restri…

Do you have links to any good documentation on self-signing everything necessary to run linux properly with secure boot?

If you haven't already, check the Arch Wiki. There is more than likely not an extensive article on it.
