Problem is, the scare tactic is gonna work on a bunch of people.
We've got a number of computers in my house; with Windows I have a desktop in my room, and a laptop. My son has a gaming desktop, a gaming laptop, and then another laptop.
His gaming desktop came with W11, the rest W10. We decided to push the upgrade to W11 the other day, no problem for the laptops.
My desktop took some work. Initially it said "could not run Windows 11" and the only information provided was a link to Microsoft's website, listing the requirements. My computer met all the specs (has an i7 cpu, 32g ram, GPU is nvidia 3060, a couple of SSDs as well as the hdd), in digging around online I figured out how to enable TPM and secure boot. After doing so, no more problems, upgraded to W11.
I suspect lots of people would simply decide it's time for a new PC when they hit that roadblock.
I don't want to start fresh on another desktop, and load the programs I want and use. I've got some photo editing software, some 3D graphics and rendering stuff, and a few other things that would be hard to replace, and a real pain in the arse to reconfigure in the profiles I use.
Then again, I'm still plugging along with lots of old software that runs fine (actually runs fantastic with newer hardware).

Or if you're like me, they'll end up on the stack in your closet. You never know when those old machines will come in handy. I loaned an old XP laptop my neighbor recently who needed it to program an embroidery machine.

And I look forward to even cheaper i7-6700t machines with w10 pro that I’ll swap over to openSUSE or the like for my office.

Drama much?
I can't speak for the rest of the world, but I know that in the businesses I've worked in, the ending of MS support has been only a mild push for many to do a round of computer refreshes. Hell, I'm still in the process of getting the last of our Win7 machines out of our field offices (financial mgmt lives in the mindset of "if we don't see it here in HQ, it's not important"). Ten years from now (right around the time I retire) we'll likely finally be getting the last of the Win10 machines out of our system.

Depending on how one uses their computer switching to Linux may be an alternative to get more use out of their hardware.
Linux Mint is recommended as a good distribution for a Windows user that's new to Linux.

If it will run 10 it will run 11.
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassTPMCheck = 1
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig\BypassSecureBootCheck = 1
--fortunately, Windoze is not allowed on my network.

That's what I did when they cut off Winblows 7.
Wouldn't go back for anything. I still use old laptops for old games. Otherwise it's Linux.
