Hmmm. Yeah, I suppose. But I'm thinking of the weird alpha-release of TPM way back in the Windows ME days. Some laptops that were advertised as built for ME were bootloader locked, basically, and fighting that would almost guarantee you brick the thing.

So, I guess if I have a point it's that these assholes have been at this for decades.
