It's so stupid that we need to resort to these tricks and workarounds. Local account should be the first, default option. Using a Microsoft account should be a secondary opt-in option, only for that strange minority of people who would actually want to do such a thing on purpose.

I wish. It's one thing with hardware, since multiple designs are expensive to produce side by side. But not so with software. If they are forced to comply with some EU standard, they'll just make one EU compliant version and continue to fuck over the rest of the world with unregulated bullshit.
