The i7-7700K meet the minimun requierments to run Win11. But its not suported, Why?

This is utterly retarded.  Yet another way for Microsoft to screw the users.  There are so many people especially in the gaming community that has this processor.  I'm really curious if they really decided to do this based on the number of sales per processor.  "Hey, we sold xxxx amount of these processors, lets not support it and make more money"... yea I wouldn't put it pas them.

So if windows 10 works great, but windows 11 doesnt, it sounds more like a programming issue or lack there of, instead of a hardware issue.
