This is an incredibly nice technology that absolutely will be used to prevent you from using your computer as you wish.

It's all about who owns the keys to the machine. Attestation with our own keys is good for us. It becomes a problem when it's the manufacturer's key, the digital fiefdom owner's key or the government's key.

Remote attestation reveals the fact the computer belongs to corporations and governments. The user's attempts to claim ownership are "tampering".

Not your keys, not your computer
This is also the technology that big and small OTT stream provider that they wish they can deploy on us.
this stuff should only be used for military and other high risk environments. it's an anti-consumer, anti-reuse, e-waste generating nightmare.
