If it comes to that, I expect manufacturers to design processors in a way that electromigration limits their lifetime.

I wonder if it comes to that…
Windows 11 requires a minimum security set on their hardware limiting it to machines only a few years old.
Planned obsolescence in hardware is already here...
And remember it's not like it actually needs any of it. There's a few checks of the form "if(doesntHaveTpm2) refuseToWork();" in the code, but people have hacked around those and then everything worked fine still.
Windows self-destructing because it needs new hardware to render ads in the start menu… ha
