Entirely anticheat, then DRM, then banking, then...

We already have media DRM using other methods that aren't as restrictive as you make it out to be. This slippery slope doesn't work.
The most popular consumer OS out there is already past that slope.
Okay, then I don't get the point you're trying to make. You "slippery slope"'d the Secure Kernel TPM attestation used for multiplayer games into "what if you can't do banking anymore". Like I said (and you agreed), we're already using hardware attestation. So what's the problem with this approach that gets rid of the requirement of anticheat drivers, freeing your hardware? (You can now use that one app that Vanguard preemptively blocks for using a vulnerable driver)
The point is that until now, attestation has not been widely used on PCs, but we can observe this changing and bringing in the pain points known from other platforms.
