Also gives a better experience because a lost user password can be remotely reset/recovered when you have an MS account.
So long as the phone number and/or recovery email address you used when you signed up for it are still active. My uncle was unable to remember his password after he had moved. He cancelled his phone and internet services, and was unable to get his password reset when he finally got hooked back up to the internet. In theory, it works great. In practice...maybe, maybe not.
A local admin password lost is a harder fix for a home user.
For the average home user, I agree. For a techie with the right tools, it's like a walk in the park.
