No. I like TPMs. I hate DRMs.

TPMs help me have a secure (as in preventing evil maid AND being forensics proof) computer to use. The current TPM2.0 specification had some problems (external TPMs are easy to MITM), so I can't trust it to hold my disk encryption keys. But it still HELPS A LOT in mitigating my risk of typing in my FDE keys into a phishing prompt.

DRMs contribute to worse and worse media playing experience.

Is it this hard to tell apart?

TPMs would be a good thing if they didn't allow remote attestation. That would give you all of the legitimate security benefits you want, while making them useless for evil purposes.
