    Why the fuck is a Microsoft account so important to Windows that running it without one is considered a “loophole”?

      because microsoft is shifting focus from selling you a product, to selling you as a product

      And they need a unique account to track every single click and thing you do on your PC, and the web, and everywhere else to facilitate doing that with greater control and ease.

      Its literally what, and for the same reason, google has done for the past decade+
