Of course we don't know that yet.  So far it is just speculation.

I do imagine some companies would love a method to prevent their machines
from having rootkits installed (at least by currently known methods).

Of course given existing windows versions aren't signed, any machine
that requires this to work, won't work with existing windows versions,
so the changes of that happening seems pretty slim.
