As far as I can tell, it gets rid of a case in which an unprivileged attacker who can run enclaves but hasn't compromised the kernel can learn the PPID and other SGX-related permanent platform identifiers, but it does nothing to prevent the same attacker from learning non-SGX-related permanent identifiers, nor does it prevent the attacker from using the Intel quoting enclave (unless configured in a surprising way) and thus attesting to a remote system. So what problem does it solve?
