Does that read as justifying it? It sure seems like he's providing a workaround, same as all the people who used to point at the simple shortcut to work around the requirement when that worked smoothly.
I mean, I, for one, hadn't thought about it. It's not a terrible way to go about it. Doesn't help me, I need a MS account to do Office stuff so I may as well, but if you're really hung up on this and can't avoid Windows it's a decend solution.
"same as MacOS" is clearly trying to make excuses.
It’s also wrong. MacOS allows you to go through setup with a local account and doesn’t force you to connect to the internet either
