Well put. In practice, all this attestation crap is just DRM, as far as I can tell. It’s of course being marketed as an opt-in thing which can “improve your experience”. Similar to how giving your wallet away at gunpoint can improve your happiness.

Functionally it's a protection racket. In exchange for protecting your devices from small, low frequency risks like evil maid attacks or whatever, you are uniquely identified for the purposes of DRM and advertising.

It's not really optional. At least, not unless you consider online banking to be optional.

You personally get protected from low frequency massive impact risks.

Website owners get protected from an ever increasing amount of malicious content. Now nearly impossible to detect thanks to LLMs. In theory you should be able to see the appeal that has.
