Every time someone has uncovered a defect in Intel’s highest authoritative security-component, the answer has always been to add yet another, even more privileged component on top of that, to fix things “once and for all”. The current standing is a overly complex Rube Goldberg contraption obviously not fit to the task at hand. And Intel can’t or won’t fix it because if compatibility. And since each new component is even more privileged, it automatically becomes an even more valuable target to hack. So expect the contraption to get worse, not better. Even if everyone (probably Intel engineers too) agrees it’s the wrong thing to do.
