That’s actually another aspect of it as well that I had forgotten to mention! Situations like yours where technically the system supports it, but the TPM 2.0 chip never get “turned on” in the UEFI (BIOS is generally deprecated these days). Most average users don’t know how to access the UEFI let alone figure out the esoteric options to understand which things they need to change to enable it. On my MSI motherboard, it is not straightforward, and I had to do a lot of research to figure out the name of the settings to change. I’ve been building PCs for twenty years, and if I had to do a bunch of Googling to figure out what setting to change, it’s not going to be easy enough for a regular user.
