I think for a majority of people that this doesn't really matter because.:

• Cellphones can do most all consumer things.
• Tablets offer a bigger screen & can interface with keyboards and mouses.
• Get an android computer with keyboard and mouse.
• People can buy far cheaper used computers and run windows10.
  • There are ways to force Windows11 running on unqualified h/w.
• Linux can install on whatever you're running.
  • most Steam games can run on Linux too.
• Get a gaming console instead of a high-end gaming desktop.

Diehards will continue buying Windows, so buy newer h/w, get spied on (i.e., recall), be happy and pay the Microsoft tax.

Everything else is lazy complaining.
