You're correct, and the dangers of this redefinition of "security" were known even further back:
"Unfortunately, the attestation model in TCG's current design can equally effectively prevent the software on a computer from being changed deliberately by the computer owner with his or her full knowledge and consent. While the owner is always free to alter software, attestation adds a new risk: doing so may now eliminate the computer's ability to interoperate with other computers."

Which can already be seen in action on Android: Various apps refuse to work if you're rooted, and Google is now slowly moving over to hardware-based attestation that probably can no longer be easily fooled.

Techrights is the Alex Jones of the Linux world. They are an absolute nutter and should not be held in serious regard

Remember what they said about Stallman 20 years ago...
Alex Jones is associated with fake news and there is plenty of evidence about that; the same can't be said of Techrights, or at least I didn't find any such claims.

Please link to the many false statements made by this supposed Alex Jones-alike.
Or fail to.
