It's not whataboutism, it was a very relevant question and possibly a precedent, no need to react aggressively.

For one, you can't implement blanket security features on an OS unless all devices have TPM 2.0, so all users who want the better security will have to have TPM 2.0 devices. Those who don't can stay on current hardware and use it till it falls apart.

Secondly, if Microsoft is bad for deprecating SW support for devices without HW security features why isn't the same uproar against Apple for doing the same?

I may not be hanging out in the right places, but the uproar seems to be about the same to me. I.e. for both of them, it’s a few angry comments online.
