TPM is meant to enforce DRM, not protect your data. They advertise it as a feature to protect users because it wouldn't be very popular if they outright said that the whole point was so that your computer could process data without giving you access to it.

And now Google wants to use it to remove user control of browsers because users like to block ads.
