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.

It's a bit more complicated than that given TPM headers exist on many/most boards
that would/should allow you to upgrade to TPM 2.0 if a BIOS version were to
support it. ASRock has stopped providing these updates when users ask for them.
Up until recently they were providing a custom/beta BIOS to anyone who asked
to enable the ability to install a TPM 2.0 module. There has clearly been a policy
change.

The conspiracy isn't really a conspiracy, Microsoft wanted a hard cutoff and chose
TPM version as a neat and tidy excuse so they can say "your old hardware isn't
safe anymore". No conspiracy, they actually say this in their marketing.

I believe you don't understand the situation.
