The plan is probably to have that as an alternative for the niche uses where that is appropriate.
This majority of this thread seems to have slid on that slippery slope, and jumped directly to the conclusion where the attestation mechanism will be mandatory on all linux machines in the world and you won't be able to run anything without. Which even if it would be a purpose for amutable as a company, it's unfeasible to do when there's such a breadth of distributions and non corpo affiliated developers out there that would need to cooperate for that to happen.
Nobody says that you will not have alternatives. What people are saying, is that if you're using those alternatives you won't be able to watch videos online, or access your bank account.
Eventually you will not be able to block ads.
