There's no way it could ever offer anything to users.

I'm not so certain about that. I wouldn't know the exact implementation or if it is possible/feasible, but couldn't this 3rd party attester cut down targeted attacks to servers? (Like DDoS attacks or other server vulnerabilities).

Not AT ALL saying that the ends justify the means in this case. Google can fuck right off with any claim to security or privacy, but that's my first thought to an actual benefit.
