I found a KB article that explains this: Compatibility considerations for Arm guest operating systems in Fusion VMs on Apple silicon (90364) https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/90364 ...... 1. Generic requirements and limitations for all Arm Guest Operating Systems Other virtual devices: EHCI and UHCI are not fully supported at this time 2. Windows Other functionalities enabled by VMware Tools are not available at this time, including: Drivers: PVSCSI, VMCI, VSOCK, VMMEMCTL, VMMOUSE ....... I tried to disable the devices by editing the .vmx file setting vmci0.present and ehci.present to "FALSE", but that did not have any effect on the Device Manager list. I don't know what VMCI is supposed to do, but EHCI is for USB 2.0. Since XHCI also supports USB 2.0, EHCI is not necessary.

So in summary: VMware-tools-12.3.0-22234872-x86_64 has the drivers and installs correctly: System devices VMware VMCI Bus Device and Universal Serial Bus controllers Standard Universal PCI to USB Host Controller but VMware-tools-12.3.0-22234872-arm lacks the drivers and shows: Other devices Base System Device Orange exclamation mark The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) and Other devices Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller Orange exclamation mark The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) This means that VMware-tools ARM needs to be corrected!

I'm running ARM Windows 11 Home 22H2 Build 22621.2506 under VMWare Fusion 13.5.0 on a Mac mini M2 2023 and VMware Tools 12.3.0 Device manager shows that it cannot find the device drivers (Error code 28) for VMware VMCI Bus Device and VMware USB2 EHCI controller. Earlier posts from 2015 suggests that this is because of missing VMware Tools. I have completely uninstalled VMware tools and then performed a new Full install, with no difference though.
