They want everything to run in TEE on the TPM, which has device specific keys signed by the manufacturer and can't be accessed through normal means

Best case scenario is someone learns to spoof it, but that's not easy.

Plus, if you did share it, you'd want to keep your identity hidden, the manufacturer would probably try to silence you with legal action
