It should be noted that if you're on iOS or using Safari on macOS, your browser already implements remote attestation: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/apple-private-access-tokens-attestation/
Google wants to standardise it (and that'll probably push it to mainstream sites) but they're late to the game.
Well, then what does apple use it for? Since there's already an implementation out there we should have a pretty good idea of what the future holds with widespread adoption?
I could be totally off, but I think that it the browser just implemented the tech to allow this, but websites also have to code their sites to actually do it.
