RHEL 8.6 is going to add this package as part of the virt:rhel module. If this is added to EPEL, it will become in violation of policy as soon as 8.6 is released.
At the time it was added it wasn't in violation of policy, as swtpm wasn't part of the virt:rhel module yet. Considering it's already in epel8, and module filtering hides this package, it won't effect CentOS Stream 8 systems and is probably ok to keep (and update) in epel8 until the RHEL 8.6 release.

I was a bit too quick with the unpush button. Looks like this package already exists in epel8.

I don't see a way to reset my -1 karma. I haven't tested this but I'm giving it a +1 to not have my karma affect it negatively.
