is there any positive use case for it for the user at all?
Comment on Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed

It’s not a problem until more sites start REQUIRING it, and then it’s too late. Even if some Apple already provides it, it’s more dangerous as use grows

No, its an alternate evil scheme to uniquely identify users and not bots. Replacing the phone number.

For sites that support it, you don’t have to fill out a captcha.
Instead it transmits a list of running processes (or other, formerly private info).

No it doesn’t. Attestation is simply a cryptographicly signed “we trust this user is human” message.

It makes it even more easy to adjust online prices for apple users, lol
