Yea it overall sucks. I suppose they can stick with Windows 10 until 2025 so it's not like the CPUs are useless but it is disappointing for many that they won't be able to easily work with Windows 11.
The main thing though is that if you do own a Ryzen 1 CPU, you can upgrade to Zen 2 CPU without having to change the motherboard. And a lot of Ryzen 3000 CPUs are fairly cheap and still gives really good performance. With Kaby Lake, you are screwed and need to buy a new motherboard as well. With Threadripper, you are half screwed I suppose. Threadripper 2nd gen was meh and even the first was pretty meh. 3rd gen Threadripper was when it was starting to become really good but that requires a different socket. Personally, I wouldn't upgrade to the 2nd gen threadripper and either keep on using the CPU until 2025 with Windows 10 or upgrade the mobo + CPU.
