I see, it makes sense. But I feel like it is a worth while compromise.
Attestation as I understand it is to allow third parties to trust a user's computing device for purposes of handling their sensitive data (both from the user's and the third party's point of view) in a way that doesn't rely strictly on the user's savvy for keeping everything leak proof.
Even if this data belongs to me - as said user - I still think that the existence of open source attested software is a net benefit in the bigger picture because the future looks more and more dependent on secure computation.
