I'm fairly sure that you'll be able to run W11 without a TPM for a relatively long time, it's just not supported. It's a risk you have to take, it's a requirement for OEMs not to shaft you with the hardware they sell. If anything it's the CPU requirements that create a hard requirement for newer HW. But in that case, that support is a cost for them. Why should they spend the effort for what is likely going to be a very subpar experience?
