Microsoft doesn't care that much about user-controllable hardware, not as much as they used to. Their partnerships with OEMs have grown very deep and they managed to push Pluton for any device that wants to be certified for W11. They could go a few steps past this in a few short years.

Yes but this is why it's so important to push back against that with Apple. To show the market doesn't shrug and accept it.

Microsoft has been trying to push their attestation crap for years. But we wouldn't have any of this so they toned it down.
