Oh. :(

Kinda depressing to know there actually are competent implementations out there.

This worries me because they know they can't implement strong DRM systems while respecting users' right to control their own devices. So with "TrustZone", "Secure Boot" and other things like that, they don't respect that right anymore[0], and unfortunately EFF doesn't point this out in their article.

Very good point.

I wonder if this is deliberate: the EFF surely realize this themselves, but maybe they don't want to mention it because of precisely the reason you mention, and the fact that the EFF don't want to jeopardize anyone misinterpreting their opinions and positions on the subject.
