"a whole lot of money up.front (establish secure infrastructure, badger manufacturers, …)"

Euh, CA Cert secure infrastructure runs just fine thank you.

"Audit ready" could possibly be solved by throwing more money at it though.

Exactly how many browsers get shipped with the CACert root keys pre-installed?

What makes you think they'd have any success with BIOS manufacturers?

I'm just "saying" that infrastructure is possible to achieve.

When they get audit ready, they'll be able to get into Firefox and thus Chrome and probably Windows and Opera too.

But only if they get audit done.
