The TPM got almost universally negative negative coverage outside of the enterprise IT space because there wasn’t an obvious benefit to anyone else and many concerns that it would prevent alternative operating system installs, lead to unbreakable DRM, etc.

This was unfortunate as it largely evaporated the middle ground who recognized that without some trusted base you also can’t recover from malware or have robust anti-theft measures. I wish the politics had been such that we ended up with a robust open-source implementation before so much shoddy, unreviewed code had shipped so widely.
