Users cry foul after AMD stripped memory crypto from its consumer CPUs

You might not, someone who self hosts sensitive information might, someone developing software might, someone who is into cyber security might.
Not everything is just about you and your specific use case.
Well, to me it is, that's why I am earnestly asking the question. Do I/the day to day consumer need to lose our shit over this.
Here is how it concerns you:
By restricting what people can and can't do (by removing features you don't use), they slowly restrict our collective ability to independently verify their claims or to independently serve our own needs - making us more reliant on them.
It's small and minor, but it's just like with the DMCA and the new ID laws. It's about slowly erecting barriers that impede our ability to act collectively or anonymously under the guise of it being "for our own good."

As an AMD consumer, why would I care about this...?
