Remember the Sony root kit[1]?
So we agree that the measures were harmful in the past. Of course you wouldn’t ask if we were widely aware of current issues. I think we also agree that a lot of interesting things can be hidden from the user if you have access to the keys to the secured enclaves (or if you manage to break in). If this was ever exploited, we may know in a few years or never.
