The "not currently" in the title is very important foreshadowing.

This is merely another battle in the war on general-purpose computing.

They will build their kingdom piece-by-piece, and under innocuous-sounding adjectives such as "safety" and "security".

Each of these pieces may look innocuous and perhaps even helpful, but don't lose sight of their ultimate goal.

Once all the pieces are in place to achieve total lockdown, there will be no going back.

Articles like this that say "it hasn't happened yet" and try to spin a positive narrative are not showing the big picture. Arguably, Big Tech does not want you to see the big picture.

Exactly - I remember the warnings about how TPMs would eventually get normalized and how Windows would require one to run. Well, we've arrived at that point !

Soon even buying a PC without a TPM will become very hard - if we're not already at that point ? (What are our options these days ?)
