This will go over great with traditional customers who cannot update to 11 because their computer doesn’t have TPM. (edit: to be clear, meaning they’ll be annoyed AF.)

Even though the limitation on TPM is completely arbitrary, and anyone sufficiently savvy can bypass it in a few ways.

But most people are not that, so I guess the Linux crowd will embrace all those computers with open arms.

That’s why I said traditional customers, who, at least for the moment, also aren’t savvy enough for linux.

If people aren't savvy enough to bypass the TPM requirement, I don't see them being savvy enough to install a whole new OS on their system.
