Doesn't MS use bitlocker? Or did for a long time, and haven't serious vulns been found in it? If so, I'm not even sure it's a valid comparison. One is real encryption the other is crypto-theater.

Also, isn't the insanity due to MS' influence? They were rumored to do this with influencing the UEFI spec, making Linux less desirable because it was so difficult to dual boot or even single boot UEFI when it came out. This conveniently helped windows hold market share (I'm going back to ballmer Linux=cancer days).

It would stand to reason MS would use their influence to make TPMs insane for end users to manage in Linux but a breeze in windows for the same reason. This is presuming we both agree that MS exerts control over hw manufacturers, I think this is clearly the case.
