I am viscerally against attestation. but there's always this argument its proponents bring forward which essentially boils down to "most people are not tech savvy, social engineering exists and it works by exploiting people's autonomy against them".

and something I find frustrating about much of the discourse against attestation is that it leaves this unaddressed, we just talk about users losing autonomy. it makes it hard not to read it as "we are a bunch of nerds who like the freedom to tinker with our computers and want to keep it that way, but don't really consider normal people in our reasoning".
