Software attestation of hardware is just pointless anti-competitive behavior.
Hardware Attestation however can have an actual security benefit.
If beeper was able to attest without hardware, Apple isn't doing hardware attestation and it's therefore just anti-competitive.

So they're doing the good security thing here, but also not making millions of users' lives worse by outright blocking old phones that don't have the necessary hardware features to perform this attestation. x (5? 15?) years in the future they'll block super old stuff that doesn't meet these security requirements.
