Autopilot and Pro have absolutely no tie other than Pro being a requirement to leverage the enterprise feature

Further, Microsoft has a support queue specifically for requesting removal if you can produce purchasing paperwork

… Not that anyone with technical chops should care. This will only ever impact you at OOBE, which is easily bypassed

Yes. If that’s not for you, that’s fine! If that isn’t a dealbreaker, it’s an exceptional platform
