Especially not for such enragingly artificial hardware requirements. Any computer able to run 64-Bit Win XP would probably run Windows 11 just fine if Microsoft hadn't decided to build instructions that only work on recent CPUs into the kernel specifically to make it not run on older hardware.

Assuming Microsoft is acting nefarious here, what would there motivation be to lock out older hardware?

To sell new hardware with new OEM windows licenses

Or in future be able to block programs they don't like or that are modified in a way they don't like. Or be like android and lock it down so you can't be admin without losing ability to use applications

They could probably reduce the support needed for drivers that support said older hardware. I would imagine some of those drivers are probably hard to maintain. That’s my guess anyway.
