This is wrong. Smartcards of course have a an interface to interact with
them. It is even a not so small subset of what TPM provides.
And yes, you could use a Smartcard to do DRM.
, so it's not an issue if their owners can't modify
their firmware (which could even be in a ROM).
The TPM can't modify anything either. A TPM is a _passive_ crypto module.
