IMO a better option would be for governments to properly regulate the usage of remote integrity attestation as "presumed anticompetitive collusion until proven otherwise" in consumer contexts, unless there's an actual justification other than "because it's there", as well as a requirement to minimize which features actually *depend* on it, so "website in a tin" apps can't artificially restrict OS choice just so they can cover up their failure to properly check privileges and permissions on the server side...

(The *only* case where it makes actual sense to me is MDM on corporate-owned/BYOD devices ensuring that they remain in an authorized configuration that supports the required security controls. And *maybe* payment apps that interact with the secure element, but isn't that also the *whole damn point* of the SE?)
