What you’re saying is a different threat model: your application goes rogue. SGX and TEE in general attempt to solve the reverse: your host goes rogue.

Research has shown that it is not a panacea, but we already knew that. It’s hardware not a full proof cryptographic solution. Some solutions have enclaves gather their results in a fault tolerant way to increase security even more.

So we could say that Intel and hardware vendors in general are looking for a solution that doesn’t exist. Or we can say that this is greatly improving your option when you are really scared of host compromises in your product.
