Confidential computing is one of those “nerd snipes”. It is really interesting from a technical challenges and academic research perspective.

Practically, hyperjacking or compromise through the cloud provider is really low on the list of security issues.

I think Confidential Computing undersells the idea of "Attested Computing". For example, when users send data into the cloud, remote attestation can give them some confidence that data will be used according to the terms of consent.

For example, Signal uses Intel SGX's remote attestation to attest to the privacy of your contact and social graph data: https://medium.com/@maniacbolts/signal-increases-their-relia...
