On my machine, it wouldn't be pretending that remote attestation doesn't exist. It does not exist, and if e.g. banks decided to require it, that'd just be locking me out. I have no attestation daemon, and if I did, it wouldn't be trusted by them. It doesn't matter if Firefox adds it too; it straight up won't work on my computer. People keep talking about browsers, but I'd prefer to continue running an operating system that doesn't have adware and spyware built in. My computer that I own is under my control, which is what these remote attestation features are meant to prevent. That is the fundamental problem. If this kind of thing gets implemented by my bank/brokerage, I have to either buy a new computer just for them, or do all my banking over the phone or in person. It's incredibly wasteful and doesn't even help with security, but once it exists, it will get added to a checklist that banks will adhere to.
