On their own devices, lots of non-power users probably just accept whatever Windows suggests. Enterprise versions of Windows either don't have a lot of the crap or they allow it to be disabled by company IT.

Techie users might just find tweaks online that allows disabling dark patterns on their devices.

Generally if the company is deploying Windows they are using OneDrive, although the exact configuration will vary.

Windows has always been designed with corporate customers in mind. That's true more than ever today, the whole Azure ecosystem is very lucrative for them. Personal Windows users have always been an afterthought, but starting around Windows 10 they became less important than their own data. Which Microsoft has been getting away with brazenly claiming as its own.

Yes though corporate OneDrive is very different from the consumer one. It's a lot less pushy.

Though it's very well possible to use another service as a corporate client. We did for many years.
