TPM 2.0 support and Windows 11 (intel)

Manufacturers are obligated contractually to uphold a number of rules imposed by their partners (intel, AMD, Microsoft, Nvidia etc). This means that if one of their partners insists that they do not want hardware older than a certain generation to have a particular functionality then the manufacturer must comply or risk losing licencing for their products. Chipsets from Intel/AMD, certifications from Microsoft etc.

I don't think it has anything to do with a conspiracy. Like, if you have a USB 2.0 port, you wouldn't call it a manufacturer conspiracy that they can't give you a BIOS update to turn your USB 2.0 port into a USB 3.0 port, right?

TPM 1.2 vs TPM 2.0 is like that. Think of a motherboard that came with TPM 1.2 as analogous to having USB 2.0 ports. At least that's my understanding of how it works, based on what I read.
