I assume you do realize more people would be interested in upgrading from older CPUs than new ones?

  I assume you do realize you can still do a clean install (on old CPUs, instead of hitting upgrade, because that's what OP meant.

    Somehow both of you are strongly validating my point without realizing it, and it's rather perplexing why you're making it sound like a rebuttal. When you deny ordinary people the easy path of an upgrade and force them to do a clean install (because "security"), you induce the vast majority of them to avoid the migration pain and just buy new hardware, with the new OS preinstalled. If this isn't a way to force people to buy new hardware via software, I don't know what is.

      Forced is a strong word here because, do we absolutely know a straight up upgrade might not corrupt something hence they're expecting a clean install? Else you are right.
