there is no value right now in open secure element. secure element is arguably the most secure hardware platform in the world to deploy at scale.

- secure element is in every credit card

- secure element is in every cell phone

- secure element is in every modern passport

these aren’t simple use cases. these have national security implications. i foresee this going the opposite direction as more critical things rely on secure element more individual proprietary implementations will emerge.

it’s still a standard. you can still develop on top of secure element. but who really benefits from it being open?
