Okay, so imagine you're in a country where homosexuality is illegal, but you still are trying to live your life as a human (the majority of which seek companionship).

"Oh sorry, not only are you ruined when they kick down your door, but everyone you've ever networked with is at risk now too maybe try not living there ha ha goodbye!" is not a story.

What's more, I just want to point out Apple and Google have been trying very hard to make devices which all but the most resourced individuals cannot break. As you implied, some access weaknesses exist to this day, but right now for desktops and laptops this "welp I guess you deserved this because you weren't careful" attitude seems to rule the discourse.

It's shortsighted, it's regressive, it's unhelpful. And while I cannot know your motivations, I know many folks who are so paranoid that Intel and AMD might have backdoors in their boot integrity verifiers that they're willing to ignore people desperate to keep secrets on that principle rather than try and make an actual best effort at security.
