Why yes, yes you can.

You can even just sign out and remove it from the startup list.

But people are still going to find ways to fuck around in the registry or use some random Powershell script and then blame Microsoft for “ruining their computer with OneDrive”.

Ironically, these same people often end up paying to get their own files back.
