Forced TPM and all of the subsequent practical and philosophical knock on effects

Copying apple has reached a new low with UI and taskbar
The main question is whats the benefit of windows 11 over windows 10? I only see disadvantage where we need to have TPM so we can accept their DRM in future, or useless taskbar where dragging and dropping doesn't work etc.
Not to mention that additional bloats that will be added in windows 10.
Windows Xp could run in 128MB and that was perfectly fine for people like me. But now even 4gigs is not sufficient to run pc smoothly.
Still cannot drag an object onto the taskbar to move it or open it in my selected program - something I do dozens of times a day, and something for which there is no feasible workaround.
The new taskbar is the most visible - it can't be on the sides, can't be resized, and breaks a large number of workflows around right clicking, dragging, and more.
Context menus are a mess, hiding most options multiple levels deep when there's plenty of space.
Every quarter they get more intrusive trying to get you to click on the wrong button that will change your browser and default apps, and they use every antipattern short of moving the window under your cursor to try to convince you not to change away from their defaults. Yes, Win10 had a "are you sure you don't want Edge" popup but Win11 is far worse.
It's also harder than ever (maybe impossible now?) to create a local user account.
As an ultrawide monitor user, I love the centered Taskbar. I only use Windows for gaming, but I couldn't use it for work if I didn't have the task bar centered.
