I consider the WinBootMate thing suggested in your second link to be similar to OCLP. Third party solutions to enable installing on hardware the vendor doesn't want you installing it on.
Did you even notice that the link marked as solution is a third party software vendor?????? They charge money for that solution.
I actually didn't, but I still think the point stands

Microsoft does let's you bypass it (Regardless of them putting up a disclaimer) so the example stands, you can do it hardware and software wise without losing updates or security*
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-on-de...
* I think you only really lose some performance on cryptographic operations and tranparent encryption
The Microsoft support page you linked says that it's unsupported.
I don't know what point you're trying to make here, but it's falling flat.
Microsoft removed the mandatory requirement, so now instead of refusing to install it just gives a disclaimer that it's "unsupported" as per the linked page
So you can install Vanilla Windows 11, no third party, on decade old hardware without losing anything other than performance (And an annoying disclaimer)
