If they're getting rid of SGX on consumer devices, I consider that an absolute win, and am happy to tone down my rhetoric. However, I couldn't find anything to that effect with a quick search. Can you share where you saw that announcement?
Consumer devices still have other DRM technologies like PAVP/HDCP. SGX is simply unnecessary for consumer-hostile DRM.
I don't think SGX + PAVP ever made it past the prototype stage, and the SDK is proprietary. My company actually wanted to use it for a trusted computing application (think "secure transaction approval") and Intel told us it was deprecated and unsupported.
