> I look forward to video players using the TPM preventing screenshots or recording

Haven't browsers supported DRM for some time now? Anti-cheat like this has also been around for a long time, with the apocalypse you posit having failed to come to pass. This reads like a slippery slope fallacy to me.

And Netflix degrades video quality on untrusted platforms, and there is a host of apps that refuse to run on unlocked phones. Wide availability of TPM could be just what is needed to spread this to PCs - which are the exception among computing platforms in being open.

We're sliding down the slope right now. The fallacy is thinking the trend will stop, because.. well, surely this is the last step, right? Just like all the ones before it.
