Device attestation fails? No streaming video or audio for you (you obvious pirate!).
Device attestation fails? No online gaming for you (you obvious cheater!).
Device attestation fails? No banking for you (you obvious fraudster!).
Device attestation fails? No internet access for you (you obvious dissident!).
Sure, there are some good uses of this, and those good uses will happen, but this sort of tech will be overwhelmingly used for bad.
