I remember the banking excuse ... and now that I think about it I don't know of any financial or public-government sites that used/demanded the TPM chip for windows.
Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for mobile. I mean no, there's no TPM chip, but there's stuff like Play Integrity which is required and even worse.
There's a few websites now that support WebAuthn which Windows Hello (requiring a TPM) should support.
For example, the Australian passports.gov.au defaults to "passkeys" and makes it clear they're "recommend", my.gov.au also supports passkeys but prefers their mobile app. I just use a Yubikey (+ Linux) though, and it's always optional anyway. Though I also don't know of any banks using WebAuthn.
