Hardware Attestation as Monopoly Enabler
Can you show an example of defeating hardware attestation? It would be useful for many 3rd party ROM users.

Gaming consoles typically have hardware attestation (as in verified software on verified hardware, sealed), and it has been broken many times in the past.

most times it's done by (reliably re-)rooting a attested phone in a way which bypasses detection of the attestation system
so not really useful for 3rd party ROMs

Quite useful for scammers, though, which is why this is so irritating with regards to digital IDs.
