Do they even make business class computers without TPM chips anymore? To my knowledge it has been a standard feature for years.

a) it's not only about business class machines b) There are still millions of computer that are perfectly capable of running Windows 11, except an artificial requirement called TPM. My 2014 Haswell machine (that I'm typing this comment on) is not "modern", but can be used for 99% of "non-gaming" tasks just fine. But it can't run Win 11. I personally run Linux anyway, but you can't require that.
