The other article on their blog introduces a systemd module that not only collects all hardware information, but also signs it with TPM before transmission [0].
I'm not even sure it makes much sense in datacenter conditions. And once it gets onto computers of the regular users, it would be very easy to repurpose it for spyware.

It’s no different than a Prometheus stat exporter. If you don’t want it then don’t enable it.
Also, most consumer computers don’t have a TPM.

According to the article, ~70% of Steam users are on Windows 11, so have TPM 2.0. That is already the majority.
