This is a symptom. If police won't do it's job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.

Is it still working with this latest preview build?
I think you can't change that on any other os. It should be implemented better in the app. You just type/share the ssid and password and the app should trust you that you know what you are doing, and it will be able to connect even if it's not the network you are currently connected to.
E.g. the shelly app allows this, you can just type any ssid and pw.
And they are doing it in the name of security, lol
And gitea is the fork of gogs, just to complete the family tree
It isnt in the article, are you sure about that, do you have a source? This is news about a new build
Other way I know of: disable 5ghz on the router, connect device, enable 5ghz.
There are still ways to bypass these requirements, including setting up an unattend.xml installation, which bypasses the setup phase, but this requires a lot more work and includes creating a new Windows installation image from scratch.
Currently, it's also possible to manually re-add the bypassnro command to your system by typing the following into a command prompt: "reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\OOBE /v BypassNRO /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f shutdown /r /t 0"
Did they added a screen where you can install drivers before the account creation page? Or do they mean if your wifi or ethernet hardware needs some special driver you can't install windows on it anymore? I regularly install windows on kvm with virtio ethernet, and I have to use bypassnro because I can only install the ethernet driver after install.

IIRC later other manufacturers copied this feature, and the final days of ps2 it was common that a "converter" was bundled with a mouse.
