Wow, that's so wrong on so many levels:
- Install more software to make it more secure
- Put secure software in the lowest ring possible to make it more secure
- "The good can use it against the bad" but not the other way round
- Proof of ownership based on "I said it first"
- Of course, closed source, because security
Sorry for the tinfoil interpretation, but I believe it's hard to convince every company to (most likely) pay for this stuff without some sort of coercion.
Looks to me like Intel ME, secure platform processors, mandatory backdoors for devices, and the likes.
