I have a visceral negative reaction to this security chip because of Microsoft's name behind it. Microsoft has shown they have contempt for users' privacy and security through Windows telemetry, Edge telemetry, BitLocker backdoor (MS strongly pushes users to backup keys to the cloud while calling it "encrypted", among security blunders). As recently as 2020, Bing suffered a huge data breach that linked users to terms that could be used to blackmail them (adult keywords).
Then there's Microsoft's cozy relationship with the NSA, building decryption tools targeting their own users. [1]
For these reasons alone, even if Pluton is virtual Fort Knox, it's DOA for me.
