Microsoft are staying suspiciously quiet then. And what about Apple?
Apple won’t do anything of the sort. They were in support of net neutrality and are committed to an open, free web. One of their chief complaints against Adobe back when Flash was at its all time peak as just that: it gave Adobe control of the web. They pushed for HTML5 and other alternatives.
Google is alone in this. However, I feel they can’t do it without Microsoft. At least not to the effect they are hoping so I totally see MS jumping on this as they have been firing on all cylinders with regards to “Windows as a service”. All they care about is building their own monopoly.
Apple already added attestation into Safari.
Yes, they added a standard written by Cloudflare that is currently used to avoid captchas.
A standard involving remote attestation through a trusted third party. Like Web Attestation does.
Apple managed to package the feature nicely, but it's the same concept: a third party verifies that the device you're running on is genuine.
