The FSF made an explicit claim about how TPMs are used, and argued that this was why Microsoft imposed a requirement for systems to have a TPM to run Windows 11. Since the first of these things is false, it entirely undermines the second. Hardware lockout is repugnant, but just making stuff up is not going to convince anyone of that.
