I honestly can't tell if this is how you actually set up a local account or if it's a joke about how ridiculously difficult everything is getting that is not exactly the Microsoft way
I just bypass it by trying to log into 'my Microsoft account' of "[email protected]" and it's always jumped to the local account creation process.
It is the actual way...I have to setup dozens of computers for my company with this method.
If you have another computer you can use a win11 iso + Rufus to automatically create a local account but be aware it by default will have your password expire after 6 months. To fix this (requires 11 pro) go to start menu and type "lusrmgr.msc" find your account, right click "properties" and uncheck "password expires"
Its not.
Always was.
