The call asks the TPM to display the signed boot chain, you can't fake that because it wouldnt be cryptographically valid. The TPM is that independent hardware.

How would that be implemented? I'd be curious to know.

I'm not aware that a TPM is capable of hiding a key without the OS being able to access/unseal it at some point. It can display a signed boot chain but what would it be signed with?

If it's not signed with a key out of the reach of the system, you can always implement a fake driver pretty easily to spoof it.
