        Some people did as they didn’t meet that min specs, but it wasn’t for something silly like the TPM requirement. Locking 11 behind a non-serviceable upgrade is artificially creating e-waste, and they should be forced to pay for it all to be properly recycled, but capitalism cares more about making the graph go up than becoming the earth from Wall-E

          Sure but back then you could simply upgrade your PC.

            If they were a “computer person” enough to know how, or willing to let the Geek Squad over charge them for something as simple as installing more RAM or HD upgrade. But yes, it’s not like a TPM that would require a motherboard swap, which isn’t a thing for laptops outside of Framework (and then only just recently).
