In a few years, I can imagine governments mandating that all computing devices come with these chips, ostensibly for cyber-security purposes.
The question is, what happens after that? Do they mandate that your connection to your ISP be secured with the TPM too? That way they can also require that your OS provide remote attestation that it is has applied all the relevant security patches.
By the end of the decade, I predict that it will be almost impossible to run "unapproved" software on any computer connected to the internet. I also suspect that "unapproved" software will include any software that supports End-to-End encryption, or even anonymity online.
