Basically all computers use efuses, otherwise it would be possible to rollback the firmware to a previous, insecure version.

For something like a game console, that’s annoying, for a phone or laptop, that’s highly desirable if something like a TPM bug is fixed, without efuses the system would forever be vulnerable.
