Reason I’m asking is because there are some people claiming that the TPM is a backdoor or something. I wonder if people on Lemmy subscribe to that belief, or no?

To be fair, we see all these things (or similar) used in the mobile and console space used to do the shitty stuff we were afraid of.
It’s weird this didn’t get more pushback on mobile. Even the mainstream press was critical when Microsoft proposed it for PCs.
It was kind of the norm with phones. The shift from cellphone over feature phone to smartphone was gradual enough that outside of some enthusiasts nobody cared about running their own OS on one.
Nowadays I even wish I could run my own OS on my washing machine.
It had been the norm for phones, then Android came along and a much more PC-like level of capability became the norm for phones. SafetyNet didn’t show up until five years later and it didn’t get significant negative press.
