This is a somewhat older rant (at least 2015, I think). And the title is misleading. It is really "Why I wish there were a product similar to but different than smartcards, HSMs, YubiKeys, etc." Because there isn't much in there that argues why smartcards (or yubikeys, etc.) are not good at what they do. The author just wants a different thing, and doesn't understand why this fantasy product doesn't exist.

you missed the point, which it easy because author is mostly rambling :)

the irony is that smart cards and even SIM cards in your phone are already general secure computers. the problem is that only by spending a lot of money and signing your life away on a NDA you can have access to it. the result: inefficiency beyond belief.

How is a title "Why I don't like X" misleading if the article explains what properties of all existing examples of X the author doesn't like?
