not enough pushback inside Microsoft? (Windows 11)

I’ve read a LOT about Windows 11 and the one thing that really stands out to me is the 6th and especially 7th gen Intel chips not getting official support. Now I understand at the end of the day Microsoft is a business, and inside any company there are disagreements and competing forces, but when you learn about the minimum requirements, it is indeed true that especially the Surface computers that have 6th gen and 7th gen Intel chips, there is literally no technical reason to block these computers from upgrading to Windows 11. I have spent way too much time trying to find a reason, and there simply isn’t. Those Surface computers have all the modern security features and functionality enabled, and we see the 7th gen powered Surface Studio 2 getting official support from Microsoft, which should really outrage Surface customers that have 7th gen Intel chips. What is really concerning is that the people in Microsoft that wanted to block those computers from getting Windows 11 won that battle. Is this because there isn’t enough pushback inside Microsoft? Or is it because the people that made this decision have too much power inside the company? Either way, this is not good and it doesn’t bode well for the future. Going forward, they can and might do whatever they want, and they don’t care if it’s reasonable or not. It really seems like current leadership is reckless. I don’t think Terry Myerson would have allowed them to screw over the 6th gen and 7th gen Intel customers (especially Surface computers), it’s a real shame he’s gone. And Windows 11 is great by the way, which makes this situation even worse. Those 7th gen intel powered Surface customers would have been delighted by Windows 11, and current leadership is so unreasonably greedy that they’re trying to make those people with 2 or 3 year old Surface computers buy new ones…. Ya Microsoft, all those 7th gen Surface customers are going to go buy a new Surface just to get Windows 11, your plan worked brilliantly! /sarcasm
