You can bypass the requirements since yeah, they were always artificial.

I think bypassing these checks would eventually render your PC vulnerable? for example, bitlocker support being void for computers that relies on TPM 2.0

There is no home-user need to run bitlocker. There's dozens of alternatives, that do not rely on TPM, that are just as effective, and that you really should be using anyways since they aren't controlled by M$.

If you need encryption, veracrypt probably still works.
