You likely haven’t turned on Secure Boot or TPM. Check the official Windows 11 discussion for details. https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11/r.../tag/1.0.2
Make sure FTPM is activated in your BIOS settings and attempt the process once more.
Microsoft won't remove TPM 2.0. The supported CPU might be limited to older chips based on Insider data and performance insights. However, TPM 2.0 will remain a mandatory requirement for Windows 11 at launch. This shouldn't affect any system for many years since most devices already have TPM 2.0 or equivalent firmware. Microsoft aims to leverage TPM 2.0 to boost OS security. Although the existing codebase can technically run without it (it's rooted in Windows 8 and 10), the installation will verify its presence. Given Microsoft's approach, bypassing it is likely straightforward. They prioritize OEMs and encourage DIY builders to enable it by default. The main concern isn't OEMs but DIY setups where manufacturers may disable it for reasons. The restriction applies only to Insider builds initially, but it will become permanent after release. You'll still see the "Get Started" option, but you have TPM 2.0 in firmware form (fTPM), which is fine.
