    its like you are intentionally trying to misunderstand what they are saying, good work at it. Obviously, they didn’t deem SB and TPM unusual, but the types of software (entertainment industry products) demanding it while the software of the security industry does not.

    but it’s not a pointless requirement or some grand conspiracy to make people buy new hardware.

    consumers won’t benefit from this functionality, but many industries will in the foreseeable future

      You quoted the end of my comment, so you must have read this part:

      Together, they make it possible for anticheat to tell if something (like cheating software) tried to rootkit Windows as a way to evade detection.

      For the threat model of anticheat software, verifying system integrity is not an unusual requirement.
