Definitely a dark pattern. However, setup dialogs can be managed using an autounattend.xml answer file, and IT should be able to handle those kind of things. I am assuming the base schneegans [1] will take care of it. If not, it might take a minute to find the actual registry responsible for it and manually add that to the setup scripts.
I'd say websearch and webfetch tools are very important but missing here. Great direction though, I also wonder about how much bloat could be eliminated...
