Microsoft just can't stop with the "hardware" restrictions for Windows 11

Microsoft seems to have forgotten the world is still head long into a global pandemic, workforce numbers have declined dramatically, supply chain issues abound, so everyone restricts what hardware will run "an app", jacks the price of things in a fashion that essentially wipes out those pay raises and tax cuts.

So they further add restrictions for "must have" account types to even use Windows 11, just to make things even more intrusive. They just have to have all the data they can muster to pay for all their "acquisitions".

Hint: I'm starting to believe this is a "corporate culture" policy, too many companies are diming "we the customer" to death.
