It’s easy to tell people how to bypass enabling the feature, you play the slow game. They’re waiting for Windows 10 to fade out too. “Oh look you’ve beaten TPM… so clever” but when 90% of machines have it enabled, they will switch on DRM for Netflix and leave you unable to play things. They say you chose to tamper with DRM security and that’s why you can’t watch things.
In terms of conspiracy, motherboards components cost money. TPM adds risk to the operating system. They features are being shipped because they plan to use them. It’s not just for the giggles.
Microsoft and Motherboard manufacturers: Putting DRM chips on the motherboard.
User: Why?
Microsoft: No reason.
User: Most businesses would switch to a cheaper toilet paper to save $5, why are you shipping chips and developing software and technology to use these chips.
Microsoft: Oh we’re not going to force anyone to do anything, we just want the ability to. Look at this workaround that we expect 0.015 of our billions of Windows users to use.
