It’s the way everything is moving. Hardware protected keys can be very useful but it’s a double edged sword. It’s more secure but also allows companies to lock consumers out.
We need rules that say when this tech is used the consumer still gets full control over it. Like what Google does with their Pixel phones and the Titan chip. Not what Apple does.
Like what google does? You mean disallowing people who use a privacy respecting android rom from using their banking apps and such? Soon very possibly banking websites included?
True but I was only referring to how they let you fully unlock and replace the trust keys on the Pixel. So they at least pretend to give some freedom, for now.
To be clear I think pretty much all of these companies, Google, Apple, Oracle, Microsoft, etc are outright melavanent. The app ecosystem and buy-in is a whole other ball of suck.
It’s only more secure until someone discovers yet another RCE bug in the firmware, and then you’ve got malware in your machine that’s impossible to detect or remove.

Because it’s secure.
Against you.
