But there is (though I think they don't use it): TPM based host attestation.

The microsoft secureboot golden key got leaked, anything based on secureboot as a root of trust is 100% blown wide open.

I am not sure this depends on TPM. Care to share a link?

Oh goodie, I wonder if Netflix is going to disable 4K support on PC as a result of this (the requirement for Skylake was due to SGX).

Worthless if the GPU doesn't have something similar. Otherwise you can monitor the pci-e lanes for all the data the cpu is sending over to the gpu.
