Being unable to read German I can't comment fully on the original article, but based on this summary this warning seems pretty silly.
The operating system kernel always has full control over the system, how are they suggesting the TPM adds control here? The TPM is a small chip that handles certain crypto operations more securely (especially key management), how does this provide any additional backdoor scenarios?
If Microsoft wanted a backdoor it could easily be added to the OS without a TPM.
