Conspiracy theory but it's pretty funny how CPUs would work for years while GPUs would get (rightfully so) outdated fairly fast.
Now suddenly CPUs do this weird force upgrade with obscure features, and even Microsoft forcing people to upgrade with stuff like TPM that the vast majority do not care about.
Wouldn't surprise me if Windows 12 next year announces that it will only support intel cpus from 12th gen and forward and ryzen 7000 and forward.
It might really be time to migrate to linux on my non work pc
