Can you make Pop!_OS disk encryption use TPM?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nobody thinks it needs to be involved. They want it involved so the drive is automatically unlocked at boot, but inaccessible if someone removes it from the machine to try and bypass login (and in the future, if someone tries tampering). Especially useful in machines you want useable without being physically present.
It’s not cajoling anything, it’s a built in feature you configure, although Ubuntu currently goes out of their way to remove the support from some tools.
Again, you dont need to use TPM to have a LUKS encrypted partition unlock automatically on boot.
You can just do this via the standard drive management included with PopOS.
What? Are you drunk? You're saying some nonsense right there.
Leaving keys accessible from any live distro. Keys in the TPM are not.
