I don't believe that Windows 11 was at all necessary to achieve this security nirvana.

Well, Windows 10 is necessary currently. At the moment 11 doesn't offer any real improvements above it yet from a security standpoint. But obviously Windows 10 only officially has about two years of life left, though I expect Microsoft to extend it.
