Honestly, the user is the biggest security risk in the first place. People run all kinds of malware and put their passwords into phishing sites all the time. One thing a TPM is used for is secure boot, which prevents malware from inserting its own bootloader to take over the OS.
Of course LOL
The user of a hammer is the only one who can destroy the hammer. Humans on the planet's surface are the only ones who can destroy the planet... we should definitely separate the human user from his rights and freedom, shouldn't we?
Interesting direction to go...
