Do you really want me to count the number of times I've switched default browsers away from Edge, only to have it reverted back? And yes, hiding the local account option from the setup screen is a dark pattern.
I'm probably twice as old as you are. I've used MS OSes since MS-DOS 3.0.
So you suck at managing computers. Got it. This has never happened to me, but I also don't install every third party app under the sun trying to fight how Windows is designed to work. I bet you have some shady custom start menu app and run CCleaner and defrag on a schedule.
Ooh, big flex. I can go back even further but it doesn't matter because only one of us here seems to know how to use MS OSes without everything randomly changing on them due to *checks notes* "dark patterns."
