This is hardware attestation in a nutshell: a double edged sword, and a sharp one at that.

The biggest issue is that the attestation hardware and the application client is the same device with the same manufacturer, who also happens to have a slight conflict of interest between monetizing customers and preserving any sort of privacy.

IMHO the pro-attestation forces are so overwhelming that we should all cherish the moment while we have anything open left.

My understanding of the "double edged sword" idiom is that the tool has both downsides and upsides. What are the upsides to restricting what I can do with the hardware I paid for?
