    I can assure you that today If we switch the V2 to the v3 we will lose a lot of
    customers

Are the users of U-Boot usually customers?  That term normally refers
to people that buy a commercial product or service.

    And force to give the private key which use to sign the code is not reallist
    it's a security flaw

I have a computer on which I can install any code I choose.
I don't think that is a security flaw.

On the contrary, if only one company can install a new version, that
is a grave security flaw for me as a user.
