Add Apple and their walled garden to that list. When Intel first attempted to introduce "Trusted Computing" in the early 2000s, there was a huge outcry. Few years later Apple comes along with something that is much more restrictive, and now people are happy to accept that you can only do with your device whatever the manufacturer allows you to do.

The PC only escaped that model due to Compaq's reverse engineering trick and IBM's failure to take it back. Something that most OEMs are quite found of having back as per current Android and laptop models.
