Disclaimer, MS employee here, but I've got to say that the cloud sign-in is one of my favorite features.
The amount of time I spend worrying about and preparing for a hard drive failure has significantly gone down.
I'm able to have one device at home, and another at work, and they stay reasonably in-sync with one another.
I'm able to check things from my phone (even if I can't be productive on the phone, at least having access to progress made on my home machine is important).
I see others commenting here about how hard it is to create a local-only account on Windows 11, and I don't want to dismiss such criticism, but I'm personally never going back to a local-only account on my devices.
