Lots of people doom and gloom here about threats to user privacy and freedom.

This is the one I'd be worried about. Thought it was annoying to not be able to use banking apps on a rooted Android? Think about how annoying it will be when you can't do much of anything, even on the Web, unless it's from a sealed, signed Apple/Google/Microsoft image-based OS...

I realize the way Firefox's user share is going, it might not matter or they might feel they don't have a choice but I really, really hope Mozilla doesn't even remotely consider implementing this.

Apologies for the simple question, but wouldn't forks of popular browsers crop up without this attestation API implemented? Or is it a thing where websites themselves would potentially refuse traffic from browsers that didn't support it?

They could, and they wouldn't get the keys needed to do this attestation. So no DRM content for you.
