That's not really the premise. The premise is to keep secrets safe from malicious actors with physical access. The capability can be used for many things. Honestly, if people don't want DRM, they're going to need to find a way to solve that problem that doesn't involve technology. It's a losing battle, especially since the vast majority of people don't care and would much prefer their device isn't horribly unsafe. Hoping that this technology will fail is not going to be effective. It isn't going to fail, we've already got tons of examples of similar technology. Instead, legal rights ie: right to repair are going to be far more effective.

Of course its going to fail in consumer electronics. For a majority of content, an 'unbreakable' DRM layer drastically decreases its value. In our pandemic world i can simply say : The R value plummets. Or in simple terms. Bob doesn't care if a show is mediocre, but he does care about what the other kids are watching. But this shits going to dominate in the H(ardware)aaS b2b world.

  How is it going to fail in consumer markets when it's been around for years? Every mobile phone is effectively locked - users don't have root and don't control the operating system. And yet mobile phones are ubiquitous and users don't give a shit.

> That's not really the premise. The premise is to keep secrets safe from malicious actors with physical access. How can you distinguish the owner from a malicious actor with physical access, in a way that doesn't cause forgetting a password to immediately and permanently turn the device into e-waste?

  You can't. I said the premise is to thwart attackers. The implementation can be used for all sorts of things. Or you can but it's a lot of extra work? The point remains.
