This has been known for many years now. It’s how M$ Intune and Entra control your PC (MDM) in a corporate environment. Windows Hello, TPM 2.0 and SecureBoot all play a part. If you are just a consumer and not a corporation just turn off secureboot and install Linux. M$ will be forcing people to tie their Microsoft account to their Windows profile soon in 25H2 (unless you run Win11 Enterprise). I’m a sys engineer who manages thousands of Windows PC’s.
