[SOLVED] What kind of program uses a TPM in Windows 11 that it had to be considered as a requirement?

I mean, is there any program or feature in Windows 11 that requires a TPM? Or does it have to do something with the kernel? Because I've seen that bypassing the TPM requirement makes no difference to the way the OS works. (from the outside at least)
 
Solution
It's not required for anything to run, but it provides enhancement of certain security features. For example, it can protect the decryption keys needed for full-disk encryption and provide firmware/OS integrity protection.

Its also unclear if Bitlocker will be in the Home version of win 11 so if it is, that also uses tpm

Windows Hello and PIN can use TPM as well. Its not essential as they can create software keys as I had a PIN for months before I turned on ftpm
