I'm certain that once governments (and people like Elon) realise that they can do age and ID verification for accessing sites, they will start demanding it.
These devices (with their DRM-like remote attestation and revocation capabilities) are just going to further prepare people to accept the idea that their "security" relies on running unauditable software/hardware to do anything online.
Eventually, ISPs will be mandated to check that you're not running a system with an unlocked bootloader, and then governments only need to instruct the major OS vendors to detect VPNs and Tor and E2EE messengers as being "malware".
