"We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11."
Oh, okay, but how does it improve security or user experience?
"This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account."
Ah, so it does not improve security or use experience. It in fact is making the user experience worse, as you no longer can set up Windows offline easily.
The only reason is to force more users to sign up to Microsoft account.
