But seriously, that's an ignorant criterion. It's not a matter of arbitrary people being singled out, it's a society-wide noose being tightened ever so slowly.

Locked down boot chains were never fully asserted on amd64 because its market is for general purpose computers, and doing so would have obviously just caused people to choose alternative options.

TPMs being widespread and accepted is a problem. It means that everyone has been put into a noose, but one that just hasn't yet been tightened. As evidence of what we're up against, Stallman saw it coming 25+ years ago, kept warning about it, and look what they did to him.
