Because when I set a computer up, I typically start by making an “admin” account with none of those types of IDs. Then I make individual user accounts with limited privileges so I’m never actually logged in as “admin” for routine use. (And even then, I can do most admin tasks with a regular account by providing the admin credentials.)
Frankly, I recommend this for anyone on any OS - always run your everyday account with the minimum privileges you need and use some sort of admin account to deal with privilege escalation when needed.
I do that too and have no issue with it. I’m not sure what’s so hard about it to be honest, but maybe I’m just more familiar with the interface. Heck...if you can’t find the option just disconnect from the internet and I’m sure it will force you to go with a local only account ;-)
Yep it’s really simple to do...just need to click create a new account ;-)
