Yeah I highly doubt this specifically will be any meaningful change or particularly the coming avenue for change, but I don't necessarily think that's fully it, because it has always been just as technologically feasible DRM currently is ("Secure"/"Trusted^(treacherous)^" Computing, TrustZone, TEE(s), Secure Element(s), ME, TPM, SGX, TDX et al..) all designed trusting the manufacturer first then the user second if even at all, all widely used(or capable) almost without exception today. I just don't think the appetite or need has gotten truly there yet. but with with how suffocatingly American core internet infrastructure and historicaly entrenched design elements are, when truly threatened i can see the dropping of the "open" internet facade becoming much much much worse that won't be as solvable as just some configs or applying some patches. ignoring the liberal dogs with unimaginable cognitive dissonance and white hubris that somehow imagine building around the exact same panopticon but painted blue with stars, and "European"^(whatever\ this\ is)^ will somehow be spectacularly different. i can't tell if my thinking is just borderline conspiratorial, but there is wayyy to much undeserved trust in this stuff that just because it hasn't been weaponized more overtly yet doesn't mean in more desperate scenarios/stronger positions it wont or cant be.
(I agree with you I'm just talking into the aether getting carried away typing saying the same thing but worse and convoluted. I need some sleep :( )
(removed my doomer disjointed rambling about actually important and real security being wrapped into "trusted" computing. truly free computing died soon after it was born; it is possible, but only in a better world. the last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991. etc...)-
