The biggest problem Microsoft has is that the biggest selling feature of Windows is its ability to be backwards compatible and run on older hardware.

Absolutely, a gazillion percent this. My main desktop doesn't have TPM. I bought a cheap micro form factor Lenovo that I thought would run Win 11, but it didn't. It had a 6-year old CPU and that wasn't supported by Windows 11. 6 years old. I realized then that this eliminated one major reason to get a Windows PC over a Mac. I think that both Mac and Linux are going to make huge gains in market-share in the next months and years.
