The amount of mental gymnastics to come up with (and justify) this is insane (sh.itjust.works)

So this is how MS weaponize autism....

So, first of all, I'm not sure everyone here knows who Dave Plummer is nor that he's fairly open about his being autistic.

(For those that don't know, he's the guy mostly responsible for the classic Windows Task Manager and a whole bunch of other things that appeared in Windows back in the day. His YouTube videos are an interesting watch every now and again.)

Second, folks are going to find this to be in bad taste whether they know he's autistic or not.

Isn't the second sentence incorrect? You can force local account creation by running oobe\bypassnro to bypass the internet connection requirement which lets you create a local account instead. And at least on the Pro(?) version it can be bypassed by choosing the Domain account option even if the PC won't be joined to any domain. It just creates a local account. I have to deal with Win 11 installations as part of my job and this is the way I've been doing it.

All this is not to defend M$' attempt to force this bullshit on the users. I'm a Linux user and steer clear of M$ products whenever and wherever I can. Just wanted to point out an M$ account isn't necessary to setup Win 11. (Unless these workarounds are only possible in the Pro version?)
