The reason why is obvious, it just isn't for the consumer: Microsoft needs to significantly raise the support requirements going forward, without telling a bunch of people their now "current" computer is being dropped based on how old it's processor is. Windows 11 exists to offer a final support coda for a lot of old PCs that Microsoft doesn't want to maintain support for. Also, banner features like Android app support aren't part of launch, so there's only minimal change currently.
