That's not the issue. The TPM isn't blinded in the above description meaning that if someone cracks the TPM they can get your key. Ideally both factors are always required to access the secret.

If you're wondering, yes this is a security issue in practice. There have been TPM vulnerabilities in the past that enabled exfiltration of secrets.
