...Kernel level anticheat is really only lauded by people who don't really understand the far reaching implication of third party code in the kernel, or by those so invested in being beneficiaries of it, they're willing to make the trade of their own privacy for the chance to get into the theme park. The problem with WEI is that, once again, industry actors are trying to take everyone else's freedom to run their computers as they see fit, by forcing everyone to embed this cryptographic garbage into their OS/browser/bootchain. Remote attestation is the gold brick paved road to hell. I will not touch anything that relies on such things. It's just getting harder and harder to stay away from though because there are so many industries frothing at the mouth to utilize such measures to mitigate every imaginable form of sovereignty of the user over their own property. The Industry talking heads will talk a big game about "oh, users can do it to too"... But I've yet to see anyone but maybe the to single digit % of developer or techically inclined person even try to tangle with these API's because the tooling is just godawful.
