I think you forgot to mention if the hard drive is encrypted than your statement is true ( in the case for example bitlocker...) but if thats not the case then anyone can just force permissions for that drive and read and write anything.

Bitlokcer would be default active on new windows 11 devices if they all had tpm 2.0 chips ( most of the windows 10 users dont have that featzre ) so bitlocker is out of that case.

The drive is encrypted on W11, if you tamper with the install to allow non TPM requirement then I don't think you can blame anybody if there are consequences. You can install a random exe from the internet, give it admin rights too, that's also on you.

This is a shit show already, no need to make things up to make it worse really.

Still tpm 2.0 should never be required in the first place. But yeah windows is already a shitshow
