The author of this article clearly has a bent in mind. The average user doesn't care about any particular technology in an OS that isn't visible, much like anything else they're not concerned with learning about. They just want to do their work, be it on Windows, macOS, flavor-of-Linux, AmigaOS, etc.

Then the author gets into gems about how users interact with their computer via GUIs, but tpm.msc (a GUI, mind you) is somehow set apart; of course Windows includes many other legacy MMCs, the most valuable being the Event Viewer. That said, even a corporate end user has no business being in tpm.msc.

The author points to blog posts from Microsoft touting TPMs and that being a reason to upgrade to Windows 11 -- except the author fails to note those are targeted at IT Pros/upper mgmt of various sorts, not the home user.

IT Pros (generally) do care about security and the benefits of new tech.

(But holy shit neowin is awful -- all of their links point to OTHER neowin articles, some of those links references back to other articles previously link -- and they even take quoted Microsoft content and add their own links in the quotes)
