TPM is more about securing data from PC owners rather than for them. Since it’s there anyways, it is used to support bitlocker, but the reason they are pushing it so much is because it might (depending on whether it actually is secure) be able to allow content providers to allow users to view their content without needing to give them access to copy or edit it.
And there isn’t any guarantee that the uses that do benefit the user’s security don’t have some backdoor for approved crackers to get in. Like doesn’t the MS account store a copy of the recovery key for bitlocker? Which is nice for when the user needs it, but also comes in handy if MS wants to grant access to anyone else.
