The issue is that it likely won't stop at Netflix and banking. McDonald's won't let you use their app with an unlocked bootloader [0].

My comment was suggesting that the majority of apps, not just banking/Netflix will likely adopt and require hardware attestation when 90%+ of Androids in use support it. Things like Uber/Lyft, Metro, food ordering, email, social media, etc are just as likely to pick it up and that's my point. No, it won't be a brick, but you'll likely lose quite a few apps.
