I mean, the real danger is they shove out an update that straight up breaks on your PC, as in won't boot even in safe mode because it does something with the TPM, and it'll be your own fault for deliberately circumventing the requirements.
Non-geeky people will generally run things until they actually stop working completely. They don't care what OS it runs as long as it runs all their shit.
Quite funny how that's true for the software side, but on the hardware side, geeky people (especially on the foss side) are the ones running things until they accumulate failures to a point that no workarounds will do any good anymore.
