I am not optimistic that the de-facto end of general computation can be prevented, or that there will even be noteworthy opposition.

There are so many powerful interests that stand to gain from preventing e.g. ad-blocking and content capture. Thanks to Windows 11 requiring TPM, it is just a matter of time until hardware support for remote attestation is ubiquitous even on desktop computers.

Meanwhile, our (including myself) attention is (perhaps justifiably to some extent) on the latest news about $EXISTENTIAL_THREAT and how $THE_OTHER_SIDE did $EVIL_THING fed to us by the algorithm. Organizations that used to effectively fight threats to freedom like this (FSF, pirate parties, CCC, EFF, etc) have lost a lot of their support/influence and clarity of purpose over the last decade.
