Yeah, my factory windows install died and refused to boot up, because I spent too long without creating an account or some ransom shit like that...I was sad for a second...then I booted back to Debian as I do every day :))
I've never had an account.. not sure what weirdness you experienced but I've never once been pestered or asked for a login. Infact, the only thing I get is the 'lets finish setting up windows' full screen trash, which is just a window and I can alt-f4 to close. It's been years like that.
But housing it behind a key combination is malicious for the average user.
