This is at best another forensic tool (unlocking the TPM of a locked laptop/phone for prosecution) and at worst a red herring for security flag.

- Clone a passport -> why cloning if you can issue new ones - getting risked being detected while using a clone (2 entries in 2 different countries, and you also need to look like the person) not to mention you have to destroy the passport

- Phone enclaves -> see above

- Crypto -> Hardware wallets should be kept on eye as badly as your normal wallet

- SIM Cards -> Swapping is faster, or if you're the the gov, just an intercept warrant will do the trick

- Laptops -> see above

- EMV Chips -> If you have those skills and money, I don't think you'll lose time on cloning credit/debit cards
