Right, because plenty of modern machines do not have a TPM or do not have it enabled. There's little sense in using a TPM for some users when many others can bypass the TPM restrictions by using hardware without.

Over protective applications which refuse to run when a machine is deemed "insecure". I don't have an example of this on PC, but there are plenty of Android apps which refuse running on rooted devices.
- alksjdalkj 5y agoMy point is that's already happening now, so I don't understand the fear that TPMs will enable some sort of draconian DRM. They don't enable anything that isn't already possible with respect to DRM and locking down machines.
