I am sure corporate and government customers will be furious if there is no way to disable this with Group Policy or Registry Keys.

They don't mention which versions of 11 are getting this so I assume all are getting it. There must be a way disable it on an enterprise level.

The EU is kicking up a stick with Meta atm about forcing its users to pick between ads or a monthly payment.
MS already makes business pay either directly with once off OEM/volume licenses or through your M365 subscription. No way EU will be fine with pay for the software and force ads.
