    I mean you probably want to have internet when you install any OS…

        Right. Having your OS up to date is not important, I suppose?

          There is a difference between asking nicely and shoving down the throat.

            Microsoft tried nicely during the XP era. We all know how it ended. The average user shall never be trusted with security.

      the fact the install media can’t provide a working desktop by itself is pathetic.

      The fact that it’s a requirement - and moreover automatically creates and integrates with MS cloud services - is what people don’t like.

      Nobody is arguing that it’s a bad idea to let your chosen distro installer automatically pull the most up-to-date packages.

        That’s great but none of that was mentioned in the comment I replied to.
