In the pro version of Win 11 when it asks you to sign in, it's still possible to select:

  1. Set up for work or school
  2. Next
  3. Sign-in options (very small link)
  4. Domain join instead

Then it lets you to add a local account. Knowing MS, they probably will prevent this too soon.

If they get rid of domain join there will be an uproar. I also think government orgs will still be using domains for a while.

But will Microsoft listen to foreign governments?

It's not clear if the US will have government agencies for much longer.
