That means, Microsoft is telling lies all the time to force users to buy the new machines with TPM 2.0.  And my suspicions are true after all, the PC Health Check is indeed bogus.

Not a lie (maybe it is???) but really ANOTHER attempt to sell new machines!

If they do that, they will lose a lot of customers, especially those who are in business and enterprise sectors.

To change the CPU hardwares, it doesn't come cheap. And adding to the fact that we're still facing global semiconductor shortage, and expected to last even after final stable build of Windows 11 is released. So to force them to upgrade CPU hardware at this juncture, was a stupid decision ever during this pandemic season.

Plus, Microsoft did say in July 2016, that all new hardwares must have TPM 2.0 enabled by default. So technically, any PC's released after that date should be supported for Windows 11.

Since July 28, 2016, all new device models, lines or series (or if you are updating the hardware configuration of a existing model, line or series with a major update, such as CPU, graphic cards) must implement and enable by default TPM 2.0 (details in section 3.7 of the Minimum hardware requirements page). The requirement to enable TPM 2.0 only applies to the manufacturing of new devices. For TPM recommendations for specific Windows features, see TPM and Windows Features.

Besides, anyone can install the Windows 11 without worry about TPM checks. All they have to do is to this workaround:
