We are using HandleProtocol everywhere except in these few cases. This unifies on HandleProtocol as it is simpler to use and equivalent to OpenProtocol. The only difference between the two is that OpenProtocol attributes the opened protocol to a firmware-owned handle instead of our image handle. This has no real use for regular UEFI applications as any protocols opened via BY_HANDLE or GET_PROTOCOL is not required to be closed. In fact, when a protocol is uninstalled it will do nothing more than reduce the open count for these.
