Apple would be in the position to fight this.

All of the major tech companies are in on this. Google and Apple already deployed it for their phone and desktop platforms (iOS, Android, macOS, ChromeOS, all support attestation already). Microsoft is getting there with Windows 11, and all new devices shipping since ~2015 have the hardware support. Google is now closing the gap on desktop browsers.

Soon the percentage of people supporting it will be high enough to make it mandatory - the last 5% can just get a new device or something like that. They'll do it when their bank website tells them so.

The day Cloudflare flips the switch to require it for all connections is the day the open web dies.

Right.

Makes sense and unfortunately seems realistic.
