No, last time I was installing Win10 was 23/09/2019 and there was an option to use offline account. Although, some system settings already require ms account.

  I noticed this change months ago. Probably with the release of 1903 (with a 1903 ISO). It seems to be dependent on whether you have an active connection or not. If not, it shows the offline option. If you do, it makes it really hard to find.

    In my case notebook was connected to the Internet.

      I don't know what to say. I've seen this across dozens of computers since 1903. Were you installing 1903?

  Did you download/create install media at that time? Fwiw I've done a handful of (re) installs of W10 pro at work (over the past year or so) , and the installer experience along with enrollment in azure ad has been different every time...

  It's been obscured though, IIRC, isn't there small text on a same colour (darker shade) background outside the edge of a box. I've only done a handful of Win 10 installs, I just remember being confused "how do you do it without an account again", it has not been clear.

    I definitely had to Google how as I missed this text in my latest install
