Naturally your typical Dimdows user has plenty of time and mental capacity

  Red herring. Anyway, the typical simple Windows user is not at all
interested in trying to prevent the need for a Microsoft account, so
their time is no issue.

The main problem I have with MSA, is recovery from a lost password.

I don't have a smartphone, I don't have all the 2FA materials
to help tech-support-free companies do their thing.

as a consequence, if I were to "lose" a local account on a PC here,
the worst case would be I'd fire up Kali and "crack" the password, for fun.
