It's not that those TPMs lack those functionalities. The point is that a company with massive engineering resources doesn't need or want to tap those functionalities. Leveraging the TPM is not too heavy a lift for the big guys when they are deciding whether "buy it or build it."

barge, it may well be just 2% of the consumer computing market, I have no idea, but it is a growing segment, to the extent that we call public school districts part of the consumer market. In that application it does not appear that the device is beging used in any way to authenticate the user, one can use any variety of BYOCs to access the student or instructor intercface of the Google Classroom. The pace of adoption of Google Classroom is rather remarkable, and while it is device agnostic in the implementations that I am familiar with, the footprint of district provided Chromebooks can only be described as very rapidly growing. Those are TPMs, and they are being used, just not as a garage door openers.
