Description

As the title says, it detects that my system has TPU in it, where it most certainly does not.

An empty /sys/class/accel directory is present in the system, that's why the OR condition activates.

Research direction

Locate the setup script and find the TPU detection check involving /sys/class/accel. Reproduce the false positive with an empty /sys/class/accel directory, then verify that the setup no longer reports a TPU in that case.
