How the hell are we supposed to install it without a Internet connection? I worked in a company that was so hard on security that only certified machines were allowed access to the net, so virtual machines were not allowed to access the LAN and therefore the Internet. Generally not a problem as we just used them to test software on different OS versions, so no Internet required.
This change disallows all offline installs. What is their gain? Are they that keen on our data or are they planning to use the connection to a Microsoft account for something even worse than just selling personal information?
I could think of a few reasons and none are nice…

They are indeed just that keen on our data.
They know they can’t get rid of it for all of their customers, but they do want to make it as hard as possible for random users to do so.
I’m sure there’s a way around it for institutional customers.
I guess this does not apply to Enterprise editions, but only to filthy peasants like us
I used the iso modification tool from the GitHub for ChrisTitus before installing with good results
