I will entertain their terms so long as they agree to a contract stipulating terms for executing code on my computer.

  This! it is your machine at the end of the day. we should have an option not to use a company or their services which they are forcing on us. I had a neighbor who was sent an invoice, he had cancelled his internet connection 3 months ago and was later told they need a cancellation request in writing. so he sent an equivalent invoice to them asking for rent for their modem which was consuming place in his house. he did not have to pay in the end.

  This sounds clever, but it's actually diametrically opposed to the protocol model. The problem is companies push unilateral contracts of adhesion that you're "free" to take or leave. So if the contract regime ruled computer interactions (as "remote attestation" is poised to do) then you'd find yourself at the pointy end of a new stick. It's the same reason US privacy regulation is doomed to failure unless it frames consent the same way the GDPR did. Not merely as something that is given once (and then vectoralized/sold), but rather something that needs to be given on an ongoing basis and can be withdrawn at any time.
