TPM /could/ be nice, if you personally would control it, instead of some company burning the signing keys into the processor – because then you would be able to make a safe system.

Except for the Enrollment Key, that's how TPMs work.

And the EK is not so much an issue of "control", but of "privacy" - and as long as you control the OS, access to that key (or any other) can be mediated properly.
