Yes, that's great for asymmetric stuff, but we're talking about TOTP, which uses a fixed symmetric key and a hashing algorithm. Unless you can run arbitrary code on the secure element, like you can with Intel and Qualcomm stuff it can't be done and even if it can be, it'd be a significant effort investment for what's probably a negligible secure it gain in practice. Still, I'd be pretty impressed if any apps did so.
