AFAIK Windows is also prone to this. TPM bus is not encrypted on Windows too and you can break into bitlocker protected laptop. Video Source
By chance, do you have an official source from Microsoft that states that? I was unable to find any official documentation to clarify that when I looked.
This video that you linked is the same video that I linked close to the end of my post.
Lol! Didn't check the source. I remembered watching this video a month ago, So I linked it.
After researching more this is the information I found.
This type of attack is only possible with external TPM without PIN protection. (Not a problem for fairly new CPUs with integrated TPM ~5 year old.) This method of breaking into bitlocker isn't new. A hijaker demonstrated it back in 2013

So, the Linux kernel feature will improve TPM security for older computers
