How does a TPM actually protect you?

Sorry if this counts as off topic, but i guess hackers knows the most about how to also protect yourself from hackers.

To me it sounds like a TPM serves no purpose, but i'm pretty sure that's wrong, so i have to ask. I know the TPM 2.0 can be used for DRM purposes with win11, but i don't know much else. Like i know its used in some way with the BitLocker, but how is that any better then not having one when it unlocks the drive automatically.
