Let's not mix technology and policies here. A technology (in this case aegis) that can verify certain things and provide secure storage for application/user data and define what can use what does have it's valid use. What are the actual policies and implementation is another matter. To draw an analogy - it's not the same thing to argue that the police should (not) exist and to argue what should a police be enforcing.
