I’ll be honest I really don’t understand the desperation to avoid it. It works fine, you barely ever have to interact with it or use it, you use a pin to log in, it’s not like you can’t log in if you’re offline or something, it’s just to tie your settings to an online account like anything else. I use windows, Linux and Macos on different machines - until I read this thread I had no idea people cared at all about the Microsoft account thing. Using it is fine. It’s not lovely, but it’s just… fine. Not a big deal at all.
