I don't really agree with the premise for your question. Since I first invested in Wave, the overall objective has been to provide software and services that would run on a trusted hardware platform. At first, Wave tried to create the hardware platform itself, but there was little interest in its proprietary platform. So the less elaborate "vanilla" TPM concept prevailed, and Wave adapted its software and services to run on that.

From my perspective, the principal moment at which Wave "reinvented" itself is when it abandoned the idea that OEMs could be persuaded to install its proprietary hardware platform, and committed to compatibility with all varieties of "vanilla" TPMs. But that was quite a few years ago. In any case, if Wave had not successfully positioned itself as the principal software provider for trusted hardware management, it would no longer exist.

I don't think that Wave is the "only company" in a position to manage trusted devices. There is competition for each one of the functions that Wave software provides, although there is not yet a competitive full-featured software suite. Wave is presently the dominant player in its market niche, but I don't believe any company can ultimately succeed in this niche without successfully marketing server side products.
