I don't think it'll go that far. What I'm more worried about is that the spec calls for multiple attesters. So Microsoft and others might even make their own under the spec.
Every platform that has a vested interest (e.g. is, or is a large contractor of advertising companies) will likely want in on this.
If the choices are in or out, any company beholden to investors or shareholders won't really have a lot of options it seems.

It doesn't matter if it goes short or far. This shit is DRM, and if any part of it makes it into browsers, it's the end of the web as we know it.
