No amount of reasoning is enough to justify that on consumer PCs, where the users don't know any better, TPM and other software side requirements were this necessary and not optional.
So suddenly, all the Windows 10 computers are insecure or what?
A normal person looking at "Windows 11 is not supported on your device" WILL think that their hardware is not good enough to run the authoritative OS.
This is less about security and more about planning a strategy to sell more devices. Anybody denying this possibility is just ignoring on purpose.
Here, I am not actually arguing against the addition of TPM or anything. I am arguing against them being a fixed requirement to run the OS that would otherwise run without any issues because it quite literally is a Windows 10 reskin, nothing more.
This is proven by the fact that they broke their own requirements on their own surface devices. Which tells me that this is less about them being serious about security and more about declaring most fairly recent hardware obsolete.
It's anti-consumer at best and deceitful attempt to sell more computers to non-tech folks at worst.
