Is the account requirement just for home additions? It seems like there’d always need to be at least one way to set up Windows without a MS account for enterprise deployments where it’s not just one individual using a computer.

Or I guess in that instance the account requirement would be satisfied by the user’s corporate account?

You would need to join it to a domain, and a corpo MS account or multiple.

Domain join not an option for Home editions, afaik.

Yeah, but I think MS is fine with Home not being usable in enterprise use cases.
