I've been using laptops with TPM for a decade now. Never enabled the damn thing because if it failed, I'd be completely locked out of my computer. I'm not a CIA agent, I'm not a threat to any state, I don't even work for some big corp, why do I need that level of security?

TPM does not necessarily lock you out in case of problems. It depends on the software. In Purism laptops, it just warns you if something unexpectedly changes. (see the link in my other comment)
