I don't understand how such keys can leak?

Hasn't intel heard about locking keys in hardware, e.g. like with hardware security key modules similar but faster/flexibler then a TPM. Surly one of the main developers of TPM does understand that concept.... right? /s

Because security is a cost center and business people do not give a shit.

It’s not just business people. Most humans seem to see security (and safety) as a burden, not as something enjoyable.

That's because people still generally value freedom over security, and that's a good thing.
