Haven't they done this since like Windows 8 or even 7? Thought it was pretty much mandatory already tbh.

Not really. There's always a skip or cancel button or "sign in another way" prompt somewhere. I think this means they're going to start prompting people more often.

How about reinstall it fresh and run that OOBE command during the initial setup? Idk if it's still working or not
