Haven't they done this since like Windows 8 or even 7? Thought it was pretty much mandatory already tbh.

Not really. There's always a skip or cancel button or "sign in another way" prompt somewhere. I think this means they're going to start prompting people more often.

If only AMD would get their asses to release a stable and functional ROCM implementation, I could migrate 100% to Linux.

have you tried the rocm docker containers that amd makes for your needs? it pretty much makes installing rocm on the base OS unneeded for me. https://hub.docker.com/u/rocm https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm-docker
