I think the problem is not that this technology exists but rather that the operation of this engine is not transparent, the user cannot examine or disable the software in this engine, cannot write his own software.

IME should exist on an external TPM chip so it's only for those that want it, like enterprises.

I really don't understand why the would just shove it into every chipset out there. I understand it needs to get its claws all over the system, but the core should be external and optional.

Because a separate chip costs more.
