They break whatever process people use whenever they feel like it.

Whether the loopholes are incompetence or just for the sake of them being able to claim "you don't need an account", they definitely aren't stable and consistent options. And it's pretty clear that at some point they're going to cross the line and just make you have an account.

What? Ctrl+F10 for Command Prompt and then oobe\bypassnro has always worked, and I don't see Microsoft removing it anytime soon. Who do you think put the bypassnro.bat script in the OOBE directory on every Windows installation media?
