If true ew. I actually just recently learned that Windows 11 requires a Microsoft account (you can disable it by going into the registry) but it officially actually requires it. Fuck them.

No registry edit necessary. Just use the email no[at]thankyou.com, write any password. Windows will throw an error, press continue and voilà, you can create your local account.

Rufus also has an option for local accounts and for removing TPM/SecureBoot requirements.

I created my windows 11 install stick with Rufus, it actually has an option to disable the requirement for a windows account when creating the bootable stick

I don't think you need to with either a professional or enterpriese account (I think professional). Do need to with a home account though which is extremely annoying.
