Totally agree with this. Confidential Computing is a very niche use
case, and there is no justification for exploding the complexity of the
standard OVMF build.
If, several years from now, it ever reaches the point that the majority
of real-world workloads are using TDX, then there would be an argument
that the complexity cost has to be paid and that the standard OVMF build
should include TDX features. But that's several years away and may
never happen.
