The thing is, Windows 11 doesn’t even need TPM - it’s just an arbitrary flag the installer looks for - which can easily be bypassed using a registry key - but MS have conveniently decided not to make a GUI for this, nor publicize that it can be bypassed by the end user.
All of this is just a conspiracy by Microsoft and it’s OEM partners (mainly Intel) to generate more sales.
I don’t think it’s that. I think they just want to force manufacturers and users to have TPMs. They don’t want some users having one and some not, it’s easier when you know every device has one.
It’s been a very effective way to keep them from updating my system to windows 11. But that’s about all it’s done
