I would say this in a different way, because your description leads to black and white conclusions about a cost-driven issue.
agreed.
For a non-TPM machine, the cost lies in the know-how to install a debugger into a VM-based system. This is not high in dollars, but it is complicated enough that it is too expensive for most users. For some content providers, this cost is "good enough".
We are discussing in the context of l4-hurd, an free (as in "open source") operating system. So right now, this cost is reduced to "install another version with an integrated debugger". This cost is IMHO negligible. j. <http://dict.leo.org/ende?lp=ende&p=/gQPU.&search=negligible>
