It was a genius idea - you cannot install Windows 11 on an old computer. So you need to buy a new one.

Secure Boot is part of UEFI. TPM2.0 is used only by bitlocker (at least for the average person, enterprises do store other keys in it).
The fact that Windows 11 won't work without a TPM is a bonus.
This isn't true at all, Windows Hello uses it as a secure credentials store.

Actually you can, it's only checked by installer, if you modify it there is nothing stopping you from installing it. I have installed one on my parents computer. CPU wasn't supported but after installation everything worked ok.
Not a huge loss in my eyes, I see Win 11 as a strictly worse OS than Win 10. Haven't yet seen any feature whatsoever that strikes me as an improvement.
They stopped doing OEM licenses?
