There are a lot of security benefits to using a TPM. I wouldn't mind if I could use an open source one in Linux.

They ameliorate a lot of low entropy problems for passwords and can improve security. I can't imagine a proprietary one being mandatory. My banking app uses the mentioned remote attestation so I can't use it on my less-Googled Calyx ROM. I just think that's stupid instead of very strong warnings.
