Maybe I'm wrong but Web Attestation will also be a death knell for Linux devices (not Android/Chrome OS) as far as being able to use them as equal clients to use the Web goes. They're simply too diverse and 'hackable' as a plotform for remote attestation to work reliably and thus they'll be excluded altogether (except a few 'blessed' distros that will then become industry controlled, and not Linux in spirit anymore).

I slightly suspect that the only platforms that will actually implement Web Attestation are the ones I'm trying to remove myself from, so I secretly[1] hope this is the catalyst I need to stop going on crappy social networks and video platforms.

I apparently don't have the will power to stop going on these sites so maybe stopping me loading content from the other side is exactly what I need.

[1] Not so secretly now I've mentioned it here I suppose.

Banks.

There's a lot of competition in the banking sector, so I don't think banks can afford to start telling customers that they need specific devices to access their online services.

It's already happening on smartphones with the proliferation of SafetyNet requirements. Once a few generations of Android smartphones have passed and most current devices support the required hardware, all banks can just make SafetyNet a hard requirement and the average non-technical user will be none the wiser.

The same thing can happen on desktop. In fact I'd say it's already happening, with Microsoft making TPM2.0 a hard requirement for Windows. The frog is slowly being boiled.
