The TPM2 spec allows it to do much more than just hold private keys, it can act as a device identifier for attestation. If that's something you care about, then you might want to disable it.

The fact that Windows 11 won't work without a TPM is a bonus.

Guess I'm only worried about it being used against me. Don't know enough about any threats it might enable.
