No, but I can promise to my current employer that me leaving my job won’t be a critical problem.
It’s less of an issue in the case of a normal job than in an open source project where often the commitment of particular founding individuals to the long-term future of the project is a big part of people’s decision to use or not use that tech in their solutions. Here, given that “Trusted computing” can potentially lock you out of devices you have bought, it’s important for people to be able to judge the risk of getting “legal ransomware”d if the trusted computing base ends up depending on a proprietary component that they can’t back out of.
That said, there is absolutely zero chance that I use this (systemd is already enough Poettering software for me in this lifetime) so I’m not personally affected either way.
