I only keep twitter installed so I can check service outages.
Why do I need a twitter account to do that?

Can't believe I have to agree with this asshole for once.
Also, can't you just use pGina or GPO in place of a Microsoft account?
The more funny part of this statement is he's too fucking dumb to Google "set up windows 11 without Microsoft account" and follow exactly 3 steps to bypass the OOBE wizard.
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.
To be fair, the option is pretty easy to miss for someone who isn't technical. Font size -11000 and grwy or whatever, though I might exaggerate.
Who uses Windows 11 anyway? I've personally been running Linux since 2017, and rarely have to touch Windows these days.
