Because it's so hard to use Rufus and make a win 11 install that bypasses the tpm requirements.
having to use hacks to get an operating system installed shouldn't be needed.
requiring a Microsoft account to use Windows also shouldn't even have been considered.
That and having to manually upgrade CUs. It just doesn’t scale. It’s easier for most people to buy a new machine.
It's easier for most people to just continue using their current PC past the end of support.
Cause your use case is the only one that exists, of course.
Companies are reluctant to use this method as theres no telling what will break due to TPM being disabled. Some will still use it as they have no other choice though.
