Garbage article. Headline interprets like Microsoft slipped or leaked something. The article discusses why the "pros" are actually "cons".
Very common tactic for many of these sites. They're either paid by Microsoft or they're just run-of-the-mill Microsoft boot lickers.
If you search for how to disable or bypass something in Windows, these SEO'd junk articles pop up and trick you into reading them. It's usually a long preamble full of arguments for why you really shouldn't try to disable or bypass the thing, because Microsoft's shit doesn't actually stink, and they know better than you. Then at the bottom they put the generic instructions that may not even work anymore, that you've likely already read.
Tbf the youtube channel is actually a very good oversight over the newest features in windows.
I hope at least they paid you to say this
The few times I watched the update round-up it was short amd to the point for each feature they reported on.
And no it's my genuine opnion. BUT I watch them rarely so it may have changed since the last time.
The pros are pros IMO. I'm not a fan of my desktop files clogging up my other computers and if the easiest way is through local accounts I'll do just that and deprive Microsoft of trying to sell me on the functionality of their suite of subscriptions. No loss to me
