But I agree with the sentiment that the marketing behind these "discoveries" is disingenious. They pretend they solved the problem, but it still takes a bunch of humans to reduce the solution to a simplified and sensible explanation.
1. Electronics repairs (Soldering, replacing caps, mosfets etc, lots of fun debugging things) 2. Old timer car repairs (love working on Volkswagen and Saabs) 3. Electrician (hate the dust, but love drawing plans, cabling, home automation) 4. CNC shop: rebuild parts, 3D CAD work etc
Or are you asking why arent more people using Tor in general?
Domain names are random, cant memorize them. Solving that requires centralization or blockchain of some sorts.
I don't agree with the "semiconductor" take of that. ASML, a European company funded by a lot of private and non-European capital, is basically producing the machines that are making all of the high-end semi conductors of the past few years. They have received grants from the EU, arguably small in compared to the private funding though.
IMEC, and their NanoIC research on the other hand receives a lot of funding from the EU.
I tend to agree with your sentiment, I think datacenters are getting more shit than they deserve, but there are better arguments to be made.

PRF for example, takes salts as inputs, if extensions are taken into consideration then it would need to capture input & client extension results too.
I've defended app attestation against baseless criticism, but this is a valid take.
The only nuance I would make is that hardware attestation as a technology isn't inherently anti-competitive but rather the way these companies implement it.
I would love to see a non-profit attestation service that publishes a list of allowed OS's, and roots that are deemed secure based on reality.
