Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

You really want to run an OS from 2021 on hardware older than 2016? That's not going to be a good idea, TPM or not.

Why?

10+ years of usage for a PC or laptop is completely normal outside the gamere/tech enthusiast bubble.

If you only use your PC for Amazon, Streaming and occasionally Word/Excel, a 10yo laptop is totally enough.
