I guess it's a question which way around it should be - but I'll note
that generally for wifi customers tend to not trust the "hardware"
because it's mostly firmware, is generally buggy and can be attacked
over the air too...

Personally (with that background) I'd tend to lean towards saying the
high-performance stuff that does want/need to trust the device should
opt out, it's harder to get that wrong. If we generally opt out as you
describe and then forgot to include something, we might have issues.
