Yep. It gets exhausting how much effort it takes on part of the user to find a way to not have to use a Microsoft account and disable all the things they don't want. LTSC makes it easier but that isn't even a version Microsoft makes easily available, so once again users have to jump through so many hoops trying to retrieve a verified iso and activate it.
Meanwhile Linux is pick a distro among many that appeals to you and get going. It makes Microsoft feel like they hate its userbase and views them as nothing more than data to collect and sell.
