Practically speaking yes, the OS (and further down the TPM/enclave) will be the root of attestation. Google here is starting with Google Play Integrity (previously known as SafetyNet), which is an OS-level attestation authority. On Windows, this attestation would probably be done via TPM/Secureboot and Windows integrity APIs.
