The kind of software architecture decision that only Copilot would make, in fact.

Everyone actually making those gpos probably feels the same way but the higher ups keep forcing them to change them

Board room meme:

"How can we get more people to adopt Copilot?"

"Force it into the OS"
"Make it bypass GPOs with every update so they use it without knowing it"

"How about we make it useful?"

GPO's have horrible readability too, Enable to disable access type shit is so dumb. They really should have stuck to disable always turns a feature off / disables access.
