This is already the world you live in just running some recent Ubuntu. Try writing, building and loading a kernel module!

Of course its all nonsense make believe, the "trust root" is literally a Microsoft signed stub. For this dummy implementation you can't modify your own kernel anymore.

And you cannot remove it on every motherboard because some of the firmware blobs are signed. You cannot remove their keys and leave only your own.
