Which is what the Apple T2 chip is... which is why it is being lauded as such.

It's being presented as something revolutionary and new, while that's clearly not the case.

And it provides Apple with the means to enforce platform-lock in, not only on its mobile line of offerings, but also on their regular laptops and machine, which traditionally has been 100% open computing owner by the end-users.

Which is why it is being widely criticized as unwanted, as a misfeature.
