#2Good riddance. (For those unaware, basically the only use-case of SGX was hardware-enforced DRM.)

The second use-case was MobileCoin, that cryptocoin scam Signal signed up for. Reflects well on their other crypto.

I thought you could use it for HSM-type workloads too

On consumer CPUs DRM may have been the only use case, and indeed good riddance. But on the server side it's possible for tenants to use these hardware features to run workloads that the hosts verifiably cannot modify or inspect. In other words, this lets you use AWS/GCP/Azure etc. while keeping both your data and your code competely opaque to Amazon/Google/Microsoft etc. Disclaimer: my job is to write the software that makes this possible, and all our code is open-source and housed under the Linux Foundation's Confidental Computing Consortium: https://enarx.dev/ .

Specifically the next generation of SGX is pushing ahead, since a number of flaws were identified in the original design.

Hardware-enforced anticheat (for certain kinds of games) is a pretty cool potential usecase.
