I welcome it. Having a region of my computer that is independent of the "regular" computer gives me confidence that I can hold secrets on my PC. The whole purpose of trusted computing in its widest sense is to provide an environment where anyone can have trust. There are many uses for it, often directly beneficial to the owner, and DRM is only one. In fact, it's not the strongest use case in my opinion.
There's not a single benefit that treacherous computing brings that cannot be solved another way, in your example you can "hold secrets" via any number of numerous encryption methods, my home PC has a whole encrypted partition for data security. Why do I need a so called "trusted hardware element" at all. Oh, and where did you get the idea that DRM is a benefit to the computer's owner? Vijay
