GRUB is free software. You can do anything you want with it. We can't really
force our users to either use TPMs or not to use them.
However, we can choose not to endorse a feature if we think it's ill-intended.
We can also try to raise awareness of the problem, which is what I'm doing
right now.

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
