On one side, we'll have a "clean", authority-sanctioned "corpweb", where everyone is ID'ed to the wazoo; on the other, a more casual "greynet" galaxy of porn and decentralized communities will likely emerge, once all tinkerers get pushed out of corpnet. It could be an interesting opportunity to reboot a few long-lost dreams.
I also kind of want it in the public-cloud-meets-private-use home environment (that is, my Cloudflare Access tunnels and MS365 business tenant I use for private stuff).
I don’t want it to touch my personal browsing experience or in any way involved in my personal-use browser environments.
These are effectively opposed desires at this point, and it’s a cat-out-of-the-bag technology.
You can make devices around being unbreachable and self-attesting. Go build a SBC and sink in a block of epoxy.
But they also want the appeal of the open, hackable world-- cheap kit that's advancing quickly, commodity technology and infrastructure.
I am actually sort of disappointed we never ended up with a world of special-purpose sealed devices-- put a proper payment terminal on everyone's desk instead of trusting nobody slapped a keylogger into your browser while you're typing card numbers, for example.
