    It’s not business oriented, it provides a unique ID attached to the machine, cryptographically proven.

    Next step is to use that unique ID to identify you on the internet and digital life. Ending all privacy.

    You think this is far fetched? Kernel-level anti-cheat for games already does this and bans the machine from playing that game ever again.

      Couldn’t you theoretically swap out the tpm chip? Or spoof/emulate it? If not, how do VMs run Win11, do they just inherit the host tpm chip and that’s that? I feel like this was the same goal of having a mac address on each device, and it became irrelevant in short order.
