This is exactly how 3rd party apps and clients will be locked out of the services they depend on. In a world where AR and "metaverse" platforms take off, this will ensure that they're accessed only from approved clients.

This is also how OS, app distributors and platforms will ensure that they get their 30%+ cut of all revenue generated using their products, as well.

Similarly, this is how OS providers will ensure that apps built for their platforms can't run on other operating systems. You already can't run SafetyNet-enabled Android apps on other platforms despite Android support existing on Android and Linux.

We've gone from open Windows and Linux PCs where you could install anything to walled gardens everywhere.

We need to bring the giants down to a level playing field and stop this nonsense.

Completely agree. How could such a thing be achieved?

legislation of openness (of protocols used) and interoperability. In the same vein that reverse engineering a compatible, competing product is protected by law.

outlaw any use of methods to which clients are discriminated against, including using remote attestation to do so. Similar language has been used in the DMCA legislation to similar effects (aka, software circumvention).
