The specific part that I consider a threat is "which would allow RPs to block you, and something that I have previously rallied against but rethinking as of late because of these situations".
Sorry, to clarify: Okta is not for our purposes a relying party and won't do anything to force attestation on relying parties. The second bit of what he wrote is ambiguous, but charitably, could simply mean "I used to argue against requiring attestation, but now I'm not sure". Which is fine, since he has absolutely no pull when it comes to how Okta's product works (and to be fair, I don't think he implied otherwise or even mentioned Okta).
