If that's just to stop W11 that's stupid. TPM chips are security related. Disabling them has some serious drawbacks.
Now there are discussion on if you'd even want a TPM chip or not, and if you choose not to use it for such reasons it may be a well thought out decision. Then you won't hear me complain. But to trow out security components just to prevent an update, without looking at the possible consequences, is stupid. There are better ways to prevent that anyways.
