The button is labeled "Add a user without a Microsoft account", I found it rather quickly, never having looked for it. The flow certainly is focused on MS account creation though. I remember in Windows 8, having to look up on Google how to link my MS account! (For me, I appreciate the change, I have enough grandfathered in OneDrive storage that I'm a happy camper.)
All of my other computing devices require an account. PCs are trying to hold out. Linux obviously does not, and Apple requires an account login to access a lot of the services that come with the OS.
