I had the same story as you. I was setting up my mother's laptop, and of course they are pusshing 'S' mode. The narrative is that for security reasons, S-mode will only allow things from the Microsoft Store to be installed. MS knows this, and to disable S-mode so you can install something like Chrome, you have to create an MS account. No matter where I looked, there was no way to disable S-mode without creating an account.
