It's "terrifying" but it's also something that's often desired. For example, SGX could enable things like a trusted Bitcoin mixer. Or a trusted telephony provider. Remote code trusting is pretty cool for such scenarios where the other option is "well, sure, you gotta trust the site, but...". The downside is that it'll be too juicy for DRM and games to pass up, and that's shitty and most likely outweighs the benefit. Perhaps if Intel had limited SGX to server workloads and gave us AVX512 instead. (I'm guessing on SGX here. I am unaware of any detailed info on how exactly it'll work, how the remote attestation works.)
