I'm going to log in with a burner Microsoft account on unactivated Windows 11 to spite both assholes.

You don't even need a Microsoft account. You can get around it with by using Rufus to create the Windows 11 installer.

You can get around it by disconnecting the Internet during setup

I had to figure out the command to bring up the command console to not log in with a Microsoft account. It was super dumb. I had to turn something off in the system as a workaround, which meant a bunch of googling.

There is zero reason for me to have a Microsoft account associated with my computer just to use it.

Edit: This was on setup of the pc. Don't remember the commands, but should be easy to find on google.
