You write: "I'm talking about service providers, especially those with massive computer-engineering capacities, who seem to be able to manage TPMs just fine."

Which "service providers" are you referring to? Chromebook represents about 2% of the consumer computing market and ZERO PERCENT of the enterprise market!

Please document other TPM usage among the nearly one billion TPMs that sit silent and unloved.

The fundamental question related to Wave is when does the damn Trusted Computing open up? The moment it opens Wave skyrockets!

Oh by the way from your chrome link I hope you noted the very limited functionality of those consumer TPMs.

Chrome OS does not use the TPM for the following:

Trusted boot - the TPM is not used as part of the Chrome OS verified boot solution.
Hardware-strength platform configuration reporting. See Attesting Device Mode for more details.
Whole-disk encryption or similar. In particular, the TPM is not used to unwrap an encryption key during the boot process.
