You can create a local user account instead of a ms one when installing Windows

While technically possible, it isn't allowed by default and they continue to block exploits that allow it.

Furthermore, the local documents/etc folders point to your user’s folder, not onedrive.

Not anymore. Even without Onedrive syncing, the local hard drive root folder is now Onedrive. This is new.

OneDrive doesn’t launch with a “backup everything in every folder

Read it again. I said the "backup app" defaults to wanting to backup using Onedrive. Type in "Backup" in search box. The Settings "Backup" launches. Onedrive is at the top.

I just went through all this with a new PC install for my 80 year old mother in law.

Honestly, do better with your system before complaining.

How about install an actual new version of Windows 11 from scratch before making claims about how Windows works. Do it without using the internet to look for work arounds.
