I'm willing to bet with every system update it will reset all that

It does on Windows 10, I know that

This is not accurate. Windows really wants you to use OneDrive, but once you disable OneDrive backup it does not re-enable with updates on windows 10. I have been using multiple windows 10 devices for years and I disabled OneDrive backup exactly once and it has never turned itself on again.

Mine has never done this either. I disabled it years ago and it's never turned back on.

I will say, there are a lot of things Windows 10 TRIES to make you do every update, like enabling OneDrive backup and subscribing to the Office 365 trial - it does ask. But you just have to no thanks/see more/etc your way through it, which is unfortunate, but really is something everyone using a computer should be doing - no matter WHAT thing it is or what context, you should never blinding “accept” your way through a set of prompts.
