Shocking absolutely no one, microsoft wants a bunch of perfectly good computers thrown in the trash.

Honestly, I think we've hit a point where a computer made a decade ago is performant enough for most people and how they use computers. The high requirements for windows 11 are another example of the industry trying to force everyone to replace every device they own regularly, so that sales can keep up, consequences be damned.
In some ways, the "AI" hype is a tool to sell new hardware as well. Surely you want all the best in your new "AI PC" which is just a normal computer but newer, with some software that will claim to be helpful but will actually be spewing bullshit.
