I haven't used windows home in decades, I deal with new installs of pro/enterprise all the time. You have to jump hoops now to create a local account.

Nah, you just select domain join. I did that a few weeks ago on a Win 11 enterprise install.

But if you deal with new installs "all the time" you should really consider automating the setup and domain joining, instead of manually creating local accounts and then domain joining.

Domain or azure ad join is what I'm used to, but for personal machines and friends/family I do local accounts.
