Windows 11 requires a lot of hardware that older machines simply don’t have, most notably TPM.

In other words, despite fanbois' attempts to claim that Microsoft has long since reformed, it's still trying to slowly tighten the noose on being able to install other OSs (and by extension, the ability to perform general-purpose computing without corporate overlord approval as a whole).
