apps should just do their thing, they should not be checking what they're running on and artificially restricting the user. this is drm
it is the operating systems job to verify the security meets the standards of the user (of course this must be completely under the users control!)
there is no security without freedom, after all

Once the OS is delivered, it should do its job and anyone should be allowed to decide in good faith what verification should be done, with or without big players. Crypto-chains are a simple math steps. No big platform needed!
