Considering we've already seen people hack their way around certain installation requirements for Win11, such as the TPM chip, I think that claim rather bogus.
Also, why the hell would I want to install an OS that demands me to go buy new hardware for "security reasons" when it itself is filled with Microsoft brand spyware??
Agreed, but MS are cracking down on alternative installations methods that go around requirements.
The vast majority of people don't really know that MS has ramped up spyware systems in Win11. A large portion of them probably couldn't care less (although some non-technically minded folks would probably refuse to move to Win 11 if the spyware issues were described in clear, non-technical language).
