The hard part is that there's another more subtle chicken and egg problem when it comes to software implementations and consumer HSM. Google/Apple/Microsoft will likely only really push forward native implementations when there is enough market share for consumer hardware having HSM's built in to make it worth it with feasible fallback options.
