It's easy to tell people how to bypass enabling the feature, you play the slow game. They're waiting for Windows 10 to fade out too. "Oh look you've beaten TPM.. so clever" but when 90% of machines have it enabled, they will switch on DRM for Netflix and leave you unable to play things. They say you chose to tamper with DRM security and that's why you can't watch things.
In terms of conspiracy, motherboards components cost money. TPM adds risk to the operating system. They features are being shipped because they plan to use them. It's not just for the giggles.
Probably a sinking ship, but it can be plugged. An airgapped Windows 10 machine, or with heavily secured with anti executables after August 2025 EOL can be used for the next 10-15 years easily. Scan anything you put on it using Kaspersky's Virus Removal Tool and Emsisoft Emergency Kit.
Use Linux for daily life, honestly, with Windows XP in VirtualBox. You will not believe how well a Linux machine can be used with ease today. I am dailying Debian 12 and have Windows 10 Ameliorated on a SSD that I force boot if I need to use it.
For your "streaming" needs, have either a Chromebook with HDMI and USB-C/Thunderbolt port, or pirate the streaming DRM content.
