Why intel core i7 7700k is still in unsupported list for Win 11?

Question

Hey Microsoft team! greetings. I'm using intel core i7 7700k for 4 years now. Still a great machine, running everything well. And it has all the requirements to support Windows 11. But that processor is not in the list & I don't understand why? Please put that processor on the list. We want to enjoy Win 11 on that beast.

According to Microsoft:

Devices that do not meet the minimum system requirements had 52% more kernel mode crashes. Devices that do meet the minimum system requirements had a 99.8% crash free experience.
