Problem is that newer systems aren't compatible with "old" hardware. So to you know, these computers being disregarded are still functional machines, if it weren't for Microsoft and other big techs bringing new requirements. What to do with lots of machines that doesn't have TPM 2.0? Ditch em all, contributing to more e-waste? This thought almost rendered an paralyzed man unable to walk again, as an "old" $100k exoskeleton was deemed "out-of-warranty".
