It isn't just "make ad-blocking (near) impossible" as the current title of the submission suggests. It is:

Make browsing the internet possible only on Chrome, Safari or Edge (with no modifications or extensions). No competition allowed in browsers.

Make browsing the internet possible only on macOS, Windows, Android or iOS (no custom Android distributions, definitely no LineageOS or GrapheneOS or whatever). No competition allowed in Operating Systems, especially no open source operating systems.

Make crawling the internet possible only to Google. No private crawling and no competing search engines.

Let me know if I've missed anything...

iirc remote attestation is reliant on hardware attestation, which means these websites will only run on authorized DRM-enforcing hardware and architectures. Only Intel, AMD, Qualcomm and the like. No open-source firmwares, architectures or hardware.

It's important to remember they are only commercial efforts. If you can value something other than money it doesn't matter what the corporate web is doing compared to human ingenuity and the internet. Let them waste their time and money write their specs.

As an example, Can you recommend a good tech/hacker video channel that is available somewhere else other than Youtube?

That is why I call for federated publishing tools. Believe it or not I plan on launching such a channel and it will be self-hosted in the 90's meaning of the term. They only way the channel will grow an audience is if it is passed by word of mouth.

The amount of effort that goes in to playing advertising metric games of YouTube is ridiculous to me. Anyone that says well people have to get paid I say maybe.

Real creators create and don't need the like, subscribe, patreon, mantra. Most of the gunsmithing sights on YouTube are moving towards this idea.

I don't believe in the discovery myth so many talk about as essential. It is only essential if you need inorganic growth.

I would say it's an emerging trend and that the more they tighten their grip the more creators will slip through their fingers.
