I suspect a major reason for this is the coming end of life of Windows 10. This older hardware is still perfectly good and usable but often doesn't support Windows 11 because of some weird decision by Microsoft.

Seems like many of these would probably be good devices to run Linux or BSD on.

By this effect probably any ecology friendliness claims MS ever made, if any, flies out of the window, right into the next trashcan.
