Creating a local account on a clean install of Windows 11 currently requires disconnecting ethernet during setup, a secret keyboard shortcut to open a command prompt, and entering a special command. I'll be surprised if this workaround doesn't go away in the near future, too.

Yep exactly what i stated, you can create local accounts. It's dumb you have to do the work around, i agree with that.
