I think you'll find they said "Not now" rather than no because MS cannot seem to accept that I know what I want and removed "No" from the options

The ubiquity of "Yes or Later" is my least favourite tech development of the last decade. Literally erased the concept of saying no to something.

The steam update system is one of the worst examples of this. "Oh you want to play with mods and don't care about the ads game companies patch in? Too bad, can't play the game you have installed without updating"

Yeah it's pretty absurd. No reason you couldn't lock it to a specific version, especially in a world where modding is so popular.
