Agreed.  There are a few times one would verify a signature inside the 
TPM, but they're far from mainstream:

1 - Early in the boot cycle, when there's no crypto library.

2 - When the crypto library doesn't support the required algorithm.

3 - When a ticket is needed to prove to the TPM later that it verified
the signature.
