It may be optional now but as soon as they can MS will make it non-optional. That's what they've done for everything so far - once they got the software market sewed up they hiked prices and but the screws to everyone. If you look at what it is it's typical MS - a nonsolution to a problem that they caused. They can't do secure operating systems (or any software for that matter) so now they are going to try and have the hardware make up for thier ineptness.
