The amount of trust put into buggy TPM implementations chock full of vulnerabilities has always confused me.

Does anyone really trust these shitty Windows laptop/desktop manufacturers to get these things right? These guys couldn't even get basic hardware features like trackpad drivers right.

Usually the TPM is part of the CPU itself nowadays, so you're mostly trusting Intel or AMD.

They got it right - just not for us.
