As our digital lives become increasingly intertwined with our physical devices, the need to verify the integrity of both hardware and software is paramount. Hardware attestation, a cryptographic process that allows a device to prove its authenticity and the trustworthiness of its software stack, has emerged as a key technology in this pursuit. However, this powerful security mechanism, championed by giants like Apple and Google, is increasingly being viewed not just as a shield, but as a potential cudgel for wielding market dominance. This is not a theoretical concern; it&rsquo;s a palpable threat shaping the very landscape of digital freedom and fair competition.</p>
