Windows required CPU's to have certain extensions/instructions to use the newest version, which might have required buying a new CPU and thus getting one of the affected ones. However, I don't think it's reasonable to blame Microsoft for this.

M$ is not the source of this problem, but they did force TPM 2.0 on their OS, forcing people to throw away older CPUs, so they made it much worse.

Oh yeah, I forgot about TPM 2.0 and was just thinking about POPCNT etc.
