For sure it didn't just have to be, completely agree. But I find it hard to understand that that could be the only reason.

Is there really no way to steelman the requirement?

I'm not well versed on the reasons, but I see that AI is mentioned frequently when TPM is brought up in Windows 11.. probably because of that new rewind feature that's pretty much surveillance baked into your pc, they probably need that to be ultra secure.

It seems like maybe they have done this because it's maybe necessary, but only for features that no one wanted anyways.

There should be a choice and a warning if you don't have TPM, along with disabling invasive "features" that could have it's data stolen, otherwise they are signing off on what is probably thousands of tons of ewaste.

I believe there are ways to get around this requirement, but then you are running in an unsupported use case and I wouldn't be surprised if they brick your OS randomly one day with an unrelated (or maybe related) patch.
