My worry is more that relying parties will ban all providers except for (more or less) iOS and Android and Windows clients. That would cover probably 99% of users, but as a side-effect, effectively completely ban open source software from logging in to the service. It's not hard to see a well-meaning person flipping the switch to only allow big-name providers in the name of "security," especially given the existence of the spooky non-compliant list actively maintained by the spec authors.
It's true we could work around this by stealing the tokens from approved software, but I am extremely uninterested in having my authentication rely on stolen attestation tokens.
