You seem to be conflating loving the result vs loving the process that enables the result. Regular people mostly do not care about anything except the result. A simplified example: People love driving, they do not love the DMV and getting a driver's license that enables them to drive. Remote attestation is the equivalent then of saying ok we can't tell if the person who drives the car has a drivers license so lets mandate that a license cert is embedded on a chip and we'll implant that in you when you get your drivers license and it'll tell the car you're licensed. You're sitting here saying "people love getting implanted! See they're all doing it and driving their cars!" and some of us are like.. dude no that is so fucked up I don't want mandated anything implanted in me but I still have to be able to drive a car. I guess if you force me to do this at risk of being homeless or disabling my freedom of movement or at gunpoint I have no real choice. It's antithetical to the human spirit.
