A machine from that generation is running DDR2 or 3. Likely running spinning rust. Has serious CPU vulnerabilities that will never be addressed. With an OS that isn't supported by any major browser and is not getting new root certs.
You could argue that a PII running Win 9x could equally do the job, if they can find a working web browser, but no one is going to say that's a great idea "because Microsoft stopped supporting PIIs!!!1111".
fTPM being a requirement (fTPM being common among Intel and AMD consumer CPUs for just a couple years short of a decade) in Windows 11 is a non-issue.
